I was guessing you would have done it way back when it was a drag car. So no torque boxes?

I'm planning both on my '73 and was just curious what you had done. Thanks!

No, none of that fancy stuff. I will say it was amazing how much stiffer the car was when it had the 8 point roll bar in it. When I was drag racing, it wouldn't pull the wheels off the ground. First time off the trailer with the roll bar in it, 8-10" wheelie! Crazy how much flex it has.

I've considered doing some type of X brace under the car to connect the frame rails together. That would require a decent amount of fab work and lots of laying on my back figuring it out. I have the X pipe fairly tight to the floor pan, so it may not even be feasible. I'm just not sure it's worth all that work.
