Default Suggestions on an Indiana-area shop for welding in SFC's

Just like the title says....any places around the Central Indiana area that have experience with welding in subframe connectors? I have a set of tubular BMR SFC's that I'd like to have welded on my 'bird.

I've driven as far as Chicago before to have work done, and that's still an option. I'd still prefer to find something a little closer if at all possible.

You want to make sure that the car is loaded by the tires when you have the subframe connectors welded on, so that the chassis doesn't end up in a stressed position. This means either have the car up on four car ramps, or a drive on lift. We use the drive on lift for our Mustang Chassis Dyno for welding the sfc's. Also, make sure the battery is disconnected before doing any welding on the chassis, a spike can fry your cars computer. Bob
