I do know a lot about cars, I've been racing since I was five in karts and since then that has forced me to do a lot of welding, cage making, etc. I've worked for two race shops and have I'd say pretty good knowledge about this type of engineering, I also am majoring in mechanical engineering. I don't even know what Wyotech is.

You're the one sitting here saying weld is stronger then metal and that this is perfectly safe. You haven't truly explained why it's safe, or why no car companies do this, you say it's to save cost...really? So no, I'm not a moron.
i agree with you completly you can not cut something in half and weld it back together and structly be just as strong you have made weak point cause if anything is gonna give in that piece of metal it will be at the point of thhe weld every time and if he went to wyotech for body work he would have been taught this cause i was taught that at UTI but you just cant tell some people things
