Welded Mods to GM A-Body Frame - Lateral-g Forums

I'm in the middle of installing my HPI Customs frame bracing kit on my '70 frame (will post pics tomorrow when I have time to upload them). My question is, my welder buddy is asking if there are other gussets/reinforcing I want him to make while he is cleaning up the frame. Does anyone have any good pics or information on reinforcing they have done where the rear suspension attaches to the frame? That is the one place that looked a little "weak" to me.

Thanks!

my back is full custom and i cant remember that far back, but if i were to do mine over i would have added a couple gussets to the front lca's. ive seen some pics of this area being ripped, although i think crash damage and rust probably plays a big roll. these cars were never designed for the speed and tire size/technology we're throwing at them.
