The driver side lower torque box on my new edge is cracked. It needs repair. Trying to find a fabricator in the south bay.

depending how bad outta wack everything is. the more time it takes to push everything back in place gets more expensive, normally i can go in there push everything back to its ori location an measure everything before welding for 350. if it looks worse than that like lets say anything more than 450 labor for trully outta wack ripped stuff ill recommend just replacing the entire system, that get more expensive. i wouldn't replace the entire upper set up anything less than 600 labor. now if its in gd shape just minor cracks its 350 to stitch weld everything from rear bulk head to gas tank. this normally does the job for your average joe, if u want all the reinforcement plates its a additional 350 in labor and 150 for all the plates, if u want it fully stitched and plated and its not too messed up, u get a deal at 600 in labor instead of the 350 plus 350 labor, the full plated kit is 150. this includes lower torque plate horse shoe, lower mounting plate to lower control arm mounting bolt, and upper reinforceing plates welded and bolted through as well. 150 for the full kit if u wana do it your self. mike at maier racing is awesome! griggs is awesome! cortex is awesome and im personally friends with the entire staff there! all places specialize in the fox mustang. pick your price and place, u cant go wrong with any one of these places including myself.
