early A & front chassis stiffening

What kind of beer? :-)

Look into the front stiffeners that run on the outside of the fenderwell liners (inner fender)
They run from the firewall down across the top of the shock towers and continue down to the frame rail.
I'll see if I can find a picture for you.

This is our member crackedback's car, and I realize yours is designed a little different but the general idea applies.
