Yes, or sort-of... but that portion of the video isn't there. I've welded for 4 days since then without any sort of sickness. Just falsh-burn on one arm, and the gritty-eyes sensation... but nothing like what happened before. I should post an update in that thread because I did go to the doc like everyone suggested. Something didn't make sense to me about being told the car was made from galvanized materials. It's not. All that stuff was painted, and paint doesn't stick to Zinc.

I thought about adding gussets to the rear crossbar, but it really isn't necessary. There actually isn't room for torsional stress to occur. The rear diff and front K-member are bolted firmly together and are completely inflexible. All 4 of the mounts have rubber bushings. I did weld a 3" x 3.5" baseplate on the ends of that 2" cross member and then welded it to the frame rails so that it spread the load out and increase the surface area of the welds. IHRA requirements are only 3" x 3", and the front mounts were reinforced with 4" x 6" 1/4" angle irons before they were attached and it wraps under the frame rails. Those are the ones that take all the abuse.

Thanks mang!
