Default MM full length subframes - how to weld?

I've read things in MM&FF that you don't need to / shouldn't weld the entire length of the subframe but instead do small sections.

So the question was how did you weld your subframes? Did you weld the entire length or not?

Pictures would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Charlie

No, you don't need to weld the full contact length of the subframe. Just follow Maximum Motorsport's instructions, which has pictures showing you where to weld. If you don't have the instructions, you can get them off their website.

And read them carefully!
There are areas where they tell you NOT TO WELD! and if you do....cracks will start and you will be screwed.
