Reply to "Seam welding and strengthening for racing"

kimmoschMember

Hello, Australia. On the other side of the planet I´m doing almost the same thing. I´m fixing and at the same time reinforcing my 1977 gts, but mostly for normal street use. I will be adding lots of little plates in several places, and also doing seamwelding whereever I can. The whole car is in bare steel at the moment. The structure for 1977 Pantera looks quite different, but all the problem areas are obvious. Could it even be, that all that use of straight steel and sharp corners in later Panteras causes even more cracks than those smoother shapes used in early Ford era Panteras?
