Some beer! And maybe a little $. There has to be someone in your area that has a welder and plans on having a mod party

Depends on local shop rate. Depends if you have them pull your ball joints. If not, I'd say under $200.

cool thanks. I heard most people leave the ball joints on as long as the welder allows the beads to cool off periodically?

Welding in 1 inch strips and wait till it is cool to the touch. I welded one strip on top and one strip on the bottom then moved to the other side. So far so good.
