FD Welding Wheel Wells Closed
Hi Gents!
While I have the FD apart, I was considering welding the front wheel well areas closed. I've seen this on a number of builds, typically track cars. I have access to an excellent welder for a couple more weeks and while everything is apart, I figured why not.
So...any real reason NOT to?
Thanks!
PS: Should be noted if I don't do this, I will have to buy new wheel well "guards" as mine are trashed.

i've considered doing the same thing. I'd imagine after all was said and done it'd only add a couple lbs on each side. I don't have plastic guards either and I run my car pretty low...thus eliminating them entirely. Im gonna look into making a cover...or I may just end up welding it closed entirely. But I have heard of people talking about how air escapes or it creating some kind of vac that pulls air out, which helps with bay temps.
