Sorry, no pix of the finished work. On the road car ('73 GTV), the cracks were welded up and the inner fender sheet metal was re-welded to the subframe channel sections (front-to-rear piece). On the track car ('67 Giulia Super), all the cracks were welded up, the separating places were re-welded, and then a bunch of reinforcing pieces were added. I got them from classicalfaparts.nl and from Orion motor Sports. The classic alfa parts outfit is in the Netherlands, but their website has an English version. They're good with e-mail. Their parts reinforced the steering box mounting area with a doubler plate for the inside and outside of that wall. The outside plate also braces the shock mounting bracket, as do some other small gussets. Orion Motor Sport is run by Jack Beck in Omaha, Nebraska. He's good on the phone. His pieces reinforce the inner fender well around the upper control arm mount and gusset the crossmenber to fenderwell connections down low. Both kits are expensive if you think of them as just plates of steel, but cheap if you value your time and the expertise of folks who have lots of experience with these cars. good luck with whatever route you take.
