Default Cost to Weld in Subframe Connectors

What would be a competitive price to weld in subframe connectors? I have some
that were purchased on ebay at Blue Oval Industries.

Dont take it to a shop. Find someone who do's welding on the side, they are out there, maybe find someone who has a welder. For the labor cost you could buy a cheap welder and do it yourself.

I don't think it should take more than an hour, maybe 2 tops to weld these things up, there's not much to it.

Ihad mine welded for 60. Come to find out that the guy didnt even finish. also when i brought it to my mechanic he looked under at it and laughed he thought it was done by an ameteur. So he rewelded all of it for free while i waited took about an hour.
