Wondering if any of you on here know any places that can stitch weld my frame for added rigidity. I preferable do not want to travel outside of Washington to get this done so if anyone knows any renown places that do great stitch welding to frames that would be great. Also I do not want to get certain parts of the frame stitch welded, I'm talking about the whole frame from top to bottom, side to side, etc.

-Thanks.

 

Buy a welder and do it yourself. You learn a skill, and save money in the long run. I helped my cousin do his for his rally car with my welder. Its easy, just time consuming. Make sure you wire wheel/grind all the paint around where you want to stitch.

Even if you dont do the welding yourself, I bet you could save a TON of money if you went through and ground down every seam you want stitched. That was the worst part I think. Basically take a wire wheel and go along every seam of the entire car taking it to bare metal for about 1/2" on each side. That way, the shop just has to do the actual welding.

Yep, if you have a garage and the space, it will take time but you can do it.
I can show you how to weld, it's not too hard. You want to use Gas, not gasless wire. It cost abit more to buy a tank but will give you superior results.

Oh, yeah thanks. I forgot to mention the gas part. You will get a cleaner weld, no slag to chip, and a little easier to control penetration on thin stuff.
