I have a welder....I have some subframes....now the question I have is can I install the subframes with the car up on jackstands?

The jackstands will be positioned under the rear end, and under each A-arm. Is it feasible????????


Thanx

Sure can... If you dont mind getting sparks in your face. you could also borrow some ramps for the front. Those steel car ramps are known to collapse BTW. I dont use them. The solid rubber or plastic ones are supposed to be pretty good though.
Personally I wouldnt bother straightening the chassis before doing SFC (unless you want things to be perfect) as the unibody will still twist and flex a little even with the SFC. I would however get the unibody straight before doing a cage.
Good Luck.

As mentioned won't be a problem it will be level enough.

Watch out for the fuel lines ;)
