You can only weld them in at the front rail.
You cannot weld them in at the door hinges, because the SFB (Stephens Fender Brace) goes over the hinges, not under them. If it went under the hinges the doors would not fit properly.

Close up of SFB and hinges.
Close up of welds and bolts permanently fastening the SFB to the front rail.
Once again, I love the way everything lines up and you can clearly see how the front end is now boxed-in. Plus, we still have plans to foam in that front rail (side rails, and A-B-C pillars).
Another angle on the "boxed-in" front end.
