Default Anyone here welded their own full length subframes?

If so, do you have pictures of a set of full length subframes welded up underneath your car? I'm going to be ordering a set of either standard or full length's this weekend. I know that everyone is going to suggest the full lengths, but I'm not sure what all is involved in welding the full lengthsup. I had a set of standard lengths welded into my convertible and I'm sure that I could weld those my self after looking underneath the car. Also the standard lengths really tightened things up, I'm not sure if I would really benefit that much more from full lengths since this is not a dedicated drag car, just a weekend cruiser. Thanksguys! If anything of what I just said was unclear just let me know, I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words.

This wont help much in your selection..but I do have some advice...

If you decide to do them yourself, make sure your car is level and supporting it's own weight. If it'n not level or if it's jacked up and not supporting it's own weight.. You may run into issues of it leaning to one side or worse when you let it down off the jackstands or whatever.
