i just finished stripping my first car and i would like to weld it to make the frame stronger. some reassurance on the main places to weld would be great.

Wherever there are seams...you put tacks haha, the chassis is welded stock from the factory with little stamp welds, which aren't too strong, so you put tacks along the seams...personally i dont think it does much...i believe there are other places where the car flexes that are much more important and arent taken care of.

You can tack weld each of the seams and also where the frame rails meet underbody panels. You can also try the high density foam for stiffness and a cage.
