stitch weld/rivot chasis
I was curious what the prefered method of chasis stiffening are available besides roll cages.
Does anyone have a preference for spot welding, stitich welding, riveting, or a combo of them? Would it be a good idea to add gussets? Anyone have pics to share their secrets? Any help would b great. thanks

Using tack welds is how they always do it in Japanese tuning magazines.
Using seam welds can apparently warp the chassis to heat.
The ideal order would be tower bars/frame braces, welding, urethane (can't weld AFTER using urethane), cage.
