Rebar and Angle Iron...

My similar story is continuously welding two 3/4"x3/4"x1/8" pieces of angle iron down the "frame rails" to tie the front and rear suspension pick-up points together.  Add in a little plate steel and 13492's undercarriage is ready for battle.  Sheet metal finished out the floorboards.

Of course this is overkill, but i was motivated to go to such extremes after i noticed the passanger footwell was bowed up about 3" after a few laps at Talladega.  Before then I really didn't know a monocoque could twist like that!
