Hey whats up guys? I got a quick question hopefully someone can just shed a little bit of light. I got a convertible right, and I've noticed that my car has a lot of spot welds. I know that these were former coupes that got sent to ASC to get cut up n what not. But should I be concerned that eventually the spot welds will rust up and break? I think I read somewhere in these forums that spot welding basically allows the car to flex but not break? I don't have any plans to race my car or anything like that, just daily driving. But should I consider grinding off the spot welds and have them done solid? Any input is greatly appreciated thanks.

spot welds is how your whole chassis is held together.
