You can do all the seam welding/roll cage stuff, this is fairly common practice.

One place you can stiffen the car is in the rocker panels by taking them from a two-piece channel section to a four piece.

We use an MG inner rocker section, which is a flat vertical piece that goes the length of the rocker panel, slightly modifed and then fabricate a channel section, which is welded to the MG piece as shown above.

Then the factory outer rocker panel is installed over this, and its all tidy, hidden and S-T-R-O-N-G

hey Matt, I just pulled my rockers and would love to add the mg support. Could you please repost the pic and give as many details as possible. Do you happen to know the mg part number? Would sheet metal and channel work? What gauge ? Thanks
