Automobile frames are repaired and welded all the time, it's not illegal. Sometimes this job is best left to the professionals unless you are an experienced welder capable of doing quality work. If you don't know what you are doing you can quickly ruin a vehicles frame and create a dangerous or even deadly situation. So while it may not be illegal to weld your cars frame you should ask yourself if it's wise to do it yourself, if not let a pro do it.

NOTE: AS U WELD YOUR FRAME MAKE SURE NOT TO PUT TO MUCH HEAT IN ONE SINGLE AREA AT A TIME JUMP ARUOND WITH YOIUR WELDS
Depends on the car. Part of the frame, or the assembly line tractor points (On unibody cars, usually marked by two notches a few inches apart. Should be one at the front and rear between the wheels on the body seam weld.) are a good place to start.
As long as you disconnect the battery (or batteries) first, you should be fine. Basically, disconnecting at least the negative cable breaks the circuit thus protecting the electronics.

The plural of 'weld' is 'welds', as in "He made several welds to the car frame."
Weld it.
Weld wheels are made for drag racing and sprint cars. Such wheels were made to be resistant from heat and other elements. Weld wheels were invented in 1967.
It is a full frame vehicle, so, the usual frame connectors used on sub frame cars, are not needed. When you put a 6 point, or more cage in it, you can tie the frame together with this. Weld the cage to the frame, not the floorboards. Also, ladder bars require a rear crossmember, that will help make it more rigid, as well.
Yes.
Welded properly, no.
Ground yourself.The best way for cars and trucks is to weld a chain to the frame and let it drag on the ground.

Kind of a grey area. If you don't do it right and DOT notices, you'll get hammered. Furthermore, the frame is heat treated, which is why the manufacturers state that you should not weld on or drill through the frame - you could very easily end up making it worse.
