Re: chassis reinforcement

Common. The passenger side mount bracket on my 75 is cracked. The core support is fine, but starting to rust from the inside. See upcoming list post for the core support ideas/ordeal. Lots of welding is the best way of adding strength to these things. That's the route im taking for my monster of a mk1 that shouldn't flex like a rabbit once finished.
