CALL911, there's a little more involved with installing SFC's than putting them in place and firing up the buzz-box. When you're dealing with cars that are 10+ years old, you have to take into account the amount of sag the unibody has had and the possibility of any tweaked frame rails etc. A professionally installed set of SFC's should be done with the frame completely level and the suspension in full droop. All body gaps should be paid close attention to and the install should be followed by a wheel alignment (depending on the condition of the unibody, it may throw the car out of alignment). Can you just jack the car up in your driveway and weld it? Of course, I've done it on 2nd gens that way but you really do get what you pay for in this case. That being said, I have a Lincoln 140C welder and some fluxcore wire, and I'm not too far from Wrightstown.
