Yes there are some important places to support for strength
the inner corners of the door frames get triangulas shaped corners welded inn and some tubing the bottom of the chassis this gets done while the roof is still on then the bug gets supported so that when it is welded inn the chassis is supported by the rectangular tube and bacically the chassis gets also joined with the shell for extra support and the roll barr gets welded inn to the sides of the pannels and for Bernard I am going to fit the section between the front w/shield and the roll barr aswell not every one likes this look but it helps alot for rigidity
You can pop past and sqwizz at it I`m in JHB area
