I have my 69 Camaro apart. My question is do I need ,Or would it be to my advantage to weld the sub frame in between the factory welds. I will have DSE sub frame connectors with solid bushing and Delalum bushings in the A-Frames, Hotchikis TVS.
Thank You
I welded mine all the way down the seams, just because. I doubt itll ever make a difference, but if its already apart, why not?

I do not have mine welded but if I had the car stripped down like you do, I would weld them in place. That's one less place that can move and flex.

I just did this to my `67 frame not too long ago. I also added welds in places such as the backside of the the middle frame mounts. Like CDjr said, I doubt it will really make a huge difference, but my frame was off the car and had already been media blasted, so why not?

just go slow so you dont warp it, i wouldnt just weld from one end to the other.

Thank You everyone for the replies. I will be welding the sub frame. That was something we used to do in the old days of stock car racing I wasn't sure it would be appropriate with this.

Never hurts, the less chance of a flex point the better
