The welding on the subframes from the factory was atrocious - incomplete, overburned, etc. The racers were instructed to reinforce and reweld the subframes. There were some skunkworks subframes in '69 that were hand crafted in the R&D department with subtle changes in shape and material. The factory instructions concentrated on the firewall/front footwell area and the area from the front of the rear spring eyes back past the "crossmember" where the shocks were mounted.
