FEx3clone, I have to say I disagree with your comments on the body braces.
There was another debate here about it somewhere.
The body of the car is a structural member and I will go as far to say it is stronger then the frame.
I have tested front end droop with and without fenders and there is a significant difference without.
Solid or stiffer body bushing keep the frame from twisting not visa versa.
The body and the frame tied together is much stronger then each part on it's own.
Anything that can be done to make either one stronger is a move in the right direction.
