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.

Interesting. So I'm probably over thinking the situation then right?
