? on installing subframes

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

PHIL

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
