| A close up look at the two unsecured layers of sheetmetal in the shock tower area. This is a major flex point if left as is. |
 |
| Costa on it with a Mig welder. He is fusing the layers together so they wont flex as easily. Most of the seam welding is done with Mig. |
 |
| The completed weld. |
 |
| Here is more seam welding completed in the shock tower and engine compartment area. |
 |
| More welding in the A Pillar and unibody leading to the shock towers. A continuous weld bead will only slightly increase stiffness and make the unibody much harder to repair so skip welding is performed here. |
 |
| More welding in the wheel well area. This is perhaps one of the most critical areas of the car for stiffness and strength. |
 |
| The rest of the chassis is also welded, here are some welds in the rear fenderwell area. |
Stay tuned for other chapters in this story as we follow the build up of Matt’s car!
