What I did to my sub was to reweld all the seams and grind smooth everything, under the upper control arms took the longest but it is blended and smooth,
Yes I have alot of spare time at points and just wanted to see if I could smooth out a frame

Why do you have two subframes? One twisted?
In hind site I would have done just what Jerry did.. spend the time cleaning up the weld splatter. Been thinking of picking up another subframe just to work on. Bugs me every time I open the hood and see that factory weld they did in a hurry.
