F41 and aftermarket bracing diagrams (MORE pics added)

There is a box tubing section on the front of my racecar that i think was one heck of a good idea, it goes just behind the front bumper mounts and ties the frame rails together. It doesnt interfere with the core support or any other part that i can find when putting this thing back together. Way more structure that the F41 bars or similar on their own. Ill have to snag a picture of it

This would be nice to see, i was thinking something similar like this front and rear, if i imagine what ur saying correctly.

I have been seeing a big increase in people posting online that G bodies do not need reinforcing or that frame / body flex is a non issue. This could not be further from the truth. G bodies in mint condition with all the bolt on bracing can only take 400 HP before flex damage begins to occur. Getting above 400 HP you will need at least frame boxing, if not an aftermarket frame swap and/or roll caging. Of course the downside to increasing frame and body rigidity is decreasing the survivability rate for occupants in the car. The floppy frame is a primitive attempt at a crumple zone to help protect car occupants. Sucks there is such a trade off.

These non believers need to check out how much flex is in the frame when just dropping the engine & trans on a bare frame.
