It might help some, but the trouble is the actual body panels aren't good at dealing with the loads. Welding a weak chassis you still have a weak chassis, with stress risers appearing in new and exiting areas!! I think a tubular chassis is the way to go, so I'll probably head down that route, I just don't like adding weight!
