Default subframe ?'s again

so im going to weld in my subframe connectors tomorrow. but i noticed on the passenger side there are some hard lines that cross in the way. it run below the mounting area for the subframes but the weld tabs that are provided run right up to the lines. can i weld around them or right up to them or do i have to move them?

If memory serves correct thats your fuel lines so I suggest not welding on them just pull them out of the way and then put them back (unbolt the tabs that hold them)

but they are hard lines i think....would i be able to move them that easy? and do i have to weld on the tab only or can i weld the actual connector to the subframe mount. because if i did that i wouldnt have to move anything.

I had a friend hold the fuel lines down while I welded them. Be careful around those lines!

Make sure the car's weight is sitting on the wheels, and not on jack stands. You want the car sitting like it will on the road while you are welding.
