Explain to me exactly the level of welding technology available in 1970 for production car components.

A lot of the Mustang components are mild steel, and that's for cost reasons. There is little difference with the thinking in the Pantera production.

The best I can do it relate to a personal friend who lived in Italy during this period and he states the technology was a wire feed welder flux core ...no gas. works well on heavy gauge steel. The welds on my 79 GTS Embo chassis looks like very little spot welding was used ..
I have noticed most 60's and 70's a arms are of the pressed steel manufacturing process rather then major welded components ... similar to that of the mustang upper and lowers ... camaro upper and lowers.
