What year did Classics switch from all bolted on body panels to welded?

Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Rob - I thought they changed in the early 90's

Jaime - early (or maybe all if Rob is right) RRC's had the panels bolted onto the steel substructure

well, let me say this, after dissasembling the 88 RR it pretty much bolts together, though i havent taken the skins off the door. i thought they were epoxied to theie interior steel frame. i do not know how those attatch, the other panels are just bolted aluminum panels. though i was drinking when i took the car apart, so i could be mistaken.
