Just want to clarify something I know I saw here somewhere. When welding the pads for the cage attachment points, I remember folks recommending not welding the entire perimeter, just "stitch" welding, inch long welds with an inch or two between them to prevent punch through from weakening of the sheet metal due to heat from welding. Is this true? If so, does that apply to element welded to the sills as well, or just to the pads on the floor?

Finally, for the folks who do annual tech for cars, is there any issue with this? Any guidance to insure trouble free tech?

Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy to say I am FINALLY at the point of my cage build to make this matter. I actually welded today. YEAH!!
