Seam welding and strengthening for racing

coolvetMember

I'm building a Pantera GTS purely for racing and want to seam weld the chassis. Can anyone give me any insights on doing this? Such as where to stitch weld? Where to add strength? What panels should be doubled up to reinforce etc?

I've read about the rigidity frames so please don't tell me to just use those as the main two reasons I have for seam welding are:
1. Chassis strength helps suspension tuning and handling
2. Seam welded chassis protect the driver in an accident far better than OEM spot welding.
