Coilover conversion for your stock K Member

Badart---Again NICE work and I have been following this from the start,Is there not a way to support the top of the shock with NO welding to the inner wheel house???? I just can't see how you can weld that much and NOT hurt the paint on the engine side of the front inner fender,I could be missing something here(most likely) So these could only be installed in during a restoration????? I'd hate to put that much heat and ruin the paint in the engine compartment--Thanks Steve
