Welding torque boxes...tips?
Guys, i know welding plates (fabricating) to the boxes is a great way to strenghten them, how about running a bead all down the seems, and fixing a slight tear i already have?
saturday im taking my car to a very experienced welder, but he's never welded torque boxes before, I do, and have been launching at 5k with e.t. streets for a while, i just want to make sure nothing goes wrong, i do know after my head, and intake swap, my axles may sheer, but i'll take my chances since those can be replaced cheaper than boxes.....what do you guys think? weld the seems all the way around? this work will be free, so anything will be good.... thnx again.
