no i didnt cut the harness. i unplugged the relays so it could fit through the firewall then put them back in the box

as far as the stitch weld goes. i think its good to do it on just a really level ground. not on jack stands or anything. i would assume that you would want the car loaded in the same situation as it would be while driving. on jack stands or some other rig the car would be potentially unevenly loaded.

who knows though. thats my theory and is what i went with. i would do half a seam then move to a different area of the car. it is a good idea to jump all around the car and do bits and pieces here and there.

like half the front shock tower left .

then half the rear right

then half the front right

half the rear left

then go finish them up in that order.

as for long seams. . do a few spots at the beg. then the end. then the middle then just progressively close it all up

and i mean also this is just a backyard built car. no budget or anything backing it. just me fuckin around with shit. its also just a track beater so its something that is pretty expendable. not some time attack or jgtc car where every minute detail could potentially draw gains. i just stitch welded it to obvious stiffen things up and the car is in good frame condition now and i wanted to tighten it up more. cause as the years go by and you drift and hit up track events more and more the car just gets tired and not as responsive as it was years ago
