The late great Charlie Bruno welded my sub frame connectors in my last car and did a super job. Is there anyone out there now that can do a nice job that you would recommend? Please let me know.

Yeah charlie sure did turn a mustang into a tank with his global west subs. What kind of subs are you looking to get installed?

Made it a tank, yeah he did! In fact, I want Global West connectors installed again. My car rattled and squeeked like crazy until he welded those sub connectors in. From that point forward, whenever I wanted to lift the car I just ran my floor jack under them. I loved them.

Yeah Charlie was great at what he did. Honestly theres not anyone I know of around that does them as he did. I worked for him for 5 years and at the time never welded subs since that was his thing. Being that I've worked for him I've seen them hundreds of times. I'm sure you heard his speech on all the gussets and extra bracing he installed. Most shops now days use boxed tubing. Nothing that can really be jacked on without it bending up. If you really want subs done that Charlie would approve of I might be able to help you out if your interested. I do a lot of side work here at the house. Shoot me a pm if your interested.
