RE: torque box reinforcement
battle boxes first, then torque plates, then the subframe conn. partial torque plate last... the full torque plate gave a good flat solid mounting area.
rot? there is no higher chance of this rotting than the rest of the car/any car... in fact less of a chance if you prep clean weld clean then protect.. you can use red oxide primer then a gloss black overcoat I am sure there are other tougher paints out there that could be used or you could use undercoating as a last coating?
