    I've got it stripped down to bare frame. Should I do some frame modifications?

    Hi guys. I have the bare frame on a roteressy to clean up rust and paint. I have heard from a vendor that there is some weakness in the rear suspension mounting points. Does anyone have any information on this?

    If you search the other forum you will see what I did to strengthen the toe link and lower control arm mounts on the GTM race car. We were constantly chasing cracks and problems there and this has taken care of all of those.

    Here's the best picture I have of the mods I made. There is more detail on the other forum, but I can't remember what thread the discussion is in.
