    My first and second gen Camaros also suffered from shitty welder syndrome on the front subfranes, I too touched them up with a MIG.

    They hammered the ring around wagon wheels prior to welding. That held up pretty good itself?
    One thing for sure, the guys that welded those frame cannot be considered "master manipulators of molten metal"��
    But all in all, an inspector down the line must have approved the welds and like Cnut said it doesn't take a lot. Likely frames would be just as strong if the were spot welded...
