How you get there is to either stitch or fully weld the seams. Both cases the seams have additional welding to add to the existing, mostly spot welds. Full welding adds a lot of material and therefore weight to the car. Also adds a lot of local heat which can deform the panels. So A 50% weld. 2cm or even 1cm of all the seams, is about right and this is what is done on most race and rally cars I have seen. Race teams also add sheet material into critical areas, such as around where the front chassis rails meet the door pillars (in behind the guards). This would be benificial to you application. Some rally cars have been known to have the front of the car start to fall off. If you are worried about legalities and crumple zones then maybe leave anything forward of the strut towers alone.
