Can anyone in the Houston,TX area recommend a good shop to do some frame modifications/welding?
I want to graft an S1 tail section onto my M2 frame.
Thanks

Can't graft a S1 subframe onto a M2.But you can rework your M2 subframe to be a S1.You need the measurements or better yet someone with a S1 that you can make a jig from it.

Not doubting your word BadS1, but why can't you graft the S1 subframe to the M2 frame? I need all the free education I can get.
I have the rear section from a tweaked S1 frame and thought it could be made to work.
How can I re-work the M2 frame to accept a S1 tail section?
This is what I want to accomplish.
