two separate people have told me that the welds should not run the whole length of the subframe connector it should be 2 Inches of weld then a two inch space of no weld. Apparently when people now seam weld race cars they do this also and it is better than a solid weld. What do people think ?


It may be "better" because it's (marginally) lighter....or causes less distortion....or because it's strong enough....who knows. One thing is for sure though....for a given size (cross sectional area) stitch welds are NOT stronger than full welds. BTW, aren't you worried about exhaust fumes?
