Chassis Stiffening foam/welding

[geordy at hotmail.com (Geordy Rostad)]

I've heard a couple different theories.  One being, if you are going to weld 
one, weld them all because strengthening one area could put more stress on 
the others.  The other theory would be welding in around the shock towers. 
That goes especially for the front.  Of course if you REALLY want to stiffen 
it, weld in a cage.
