There has been talk about the possible ills of welding up the seams that are between the fender and the part infront of the windshield. There has been cracking due to stress for some. I am interested in hearing about failures, AND successes. What do you think made yours work/fail?

i think the success is going to be totally dependant on the condition of the chassis, how the car is driven, and how stiff the suspension is...size of tires would have an impact as well.....
