Need Spohn SFC Installed

Does anyone know of a GOOD place to get Spohn SFC Installed? Let just say that the past few places I have checked out have been less than helpful. The most common phrase was, (Say this in your best ******* voice) "I never seen none like that." I'm willing to travel to surrounding states (TX, AR, or KS), but would prefer someone here in Oklahoma City. Thanks in advance.

Unfortunally I had the same problem, I had a few people tell me stuff like "this is a special type of SFC" "these are more involved" and my last quote for the installation was $400 I contacted Steve and now I'm heading to PA on Friday and I'm just gonna have him do it along with a bunch of other things while im there.. Good luck on your search.. I'm sure you'll find someone, SFC aren't the most difficult thing in the world to install..

Yup, later this summer when I have the money, I'll be driving from IN to PA to have him put them on. I think he charges $150 for installation. I don't have a welder and he knows what he's doing so... you get the idea. When you want something done right, you gotta go the extra mile.

Appreciate the info guys. There is a place here in okc called HP Performance that will do it, but the price is 72 dollars an hour and they say it will take 3 to 4 hours. All said and done that’s close to $300. That’s 3 times what most of the guys here on the board are averaging and twice what Spohn will do it for. If I could go to Spohn I would.

Anyone know anywhere in the Pacific Northwest that would install them, or someone that's had them installed like in washington? or Oregon (Maybe Vancouver BC but I'm pushing my luck I thik)

try checking out local welding shops. I got my Spohn powdercoated sfcs, lcas, and brackets all put on for about 140 or 160 I forget price.

i'd look for a chassis shop that did performance work.

go to the drag strip and find someone with a tube framed car or at least a full roll cage and ask them who did the work.

you could also call a speed shop (versus a regualr parts store). explain what you're trying to do and ask for recommendations.
