...what to reinforce first?

I just installed my millermatic 175 and im wondering where to start. What do I reinforce first. I am looking to do subframe connectors but what else should I do?

I have a 1967 mustang,

I did subframe connectors, four point rollbar, and an export brace. If your car is not painted and you are (or know someone who is) a good welder I would put an a chassis strengthening kit from mustangs plus. I really emphasise the rollbar because you can mount seatbelts to it.

That's a nice little welder you have there. I've used mine to do a whole lot of stuff on my 66. I did subframe connectors, traction bars, roll bar, and a shock tower reinforcement kit on mine. I also replaced a shock tower and fender apron. That little welder did all of it without giving me a lick of trouble.

Adding a torque box to the passengers side also helps to stiffen up the body.

Seam weld the entire body! Well at least the shock towers. Stu
