You wont warp the body welding them, you can warp sheetmetal that doesnt have bends if you weld it, because its a straight panel that has allowance to move, but body panels have structural shapes, that make them strong, plus they're welded in. If you warp the body by welding on it, you have some serious issues with the body. You can warp the outer "skin", but ever notice that the panels are straight, but you wont bend them if you weld them attaching the panels in the correct places.

pretty much what you do is freshen up the old welds and weld in some extra places to make it stiffer welding the doors to the chassis would help you lose weight
Wrong, you want to add welds so that theres less bodyflex, the stock spot welds flex, plus theres few. "and weld in some extra places" rofl, yeah... like all the body seams, thats alot of "some extra places" I dont see how welding the doors to the chassis would help in weight loss, as you're adding material and making it a shitty time to get out and in the car, unless you like to duke the hazzard it every time.

...and I do this on a professional level.
