Default seam welding worth it?

Well we just painted the frame of the vette and realized we still needed to weld the a-arm brackets on the frame and we were debating on whether or not we should seam weld the frame and then just repaint the parts we hit with the grinder. what do yall think? worth it?

I seam welded an gusseted mine years ago. I'm not shure how much better it makes them. Every little bit counts!

I dont have an answer for you, but my brother that with his 68. He plans to run it in SCCA, so I guess every little bit helps to strengthen the frame.
