I have some MM full length subframe connectors I wan installed in my 99 GT. I don't have a lift to do it myself and don't want to tackle it on jack stands or wheel ramps. Has anyone used a shop in or near Modesto that they can recommend?

Thanks

I know a good shop but it's not in Modesto. If you ever make your way to Santa Rosa, check out Johnny Franklins Driveline and Hitch. They did mine, great people, great work and an awesome price.

Ya thats a little far lol. I actually emailed MM and asked them how much to install them and they said THEY DONT INSTALL?! I was like WTF?! How do they sell all this (part used just for test fitting, etc) but they dont install? lol ok...

Looks like im going to get a new cord for my mig and weld them myself in the garage. I dont mind its just such a bitch to lay on the ground and weld under the car because its only like 18" off the ground. I thought maybe I will try to put some 4x4s under the wheels ramps to get it a bit higher in the air..

Maybe I should get drunk off my HATERADE elsewhere?


I was slow to take the hint, so I'm taking a break from CAFords for the rest of the month. Now excuse me while I enjoy some cereal. Mmmmm Mmmmm good. Who else wants to join me?

If you have a decent welder its not too bad to do on stands. I have a 100a Lincoln and it does them but its just a little under powered for the job.

I have a 150amp mig but forget that business. I called Norcal and they know exactly what setup I'm doing. He was very familiar with the setup of the connectors. Basically told me how to install them before I even read the instructions. He quoted me only 80 dollars to install them and it should take about an hour in a half so I can wait for it. I'm pretty stoked to say the least. I have a good feeling about this guy. He was very straight up on the phone. Thanks alot man. Going to have them done asap.

You won't be disappointed. Jason is a good guy. He has lots of good talent working there too. They just did my fox not long ago.
