I am starting to firm up my chassis to better handle the
abuse my v8 and 930 will dish out.
I have an unistalled roll cage that I may not use because it
is a street car, so if I don't use it I will go with Engman.
I also have had for 15 years an unopened "GT stiffening kit"
There seems to be a lot of thought that it is not worth the
trouble. Is this true? I can get one of Chris' kits with removable
braces, but is there any reason to mix and match the two or should
I go with only CFR stuff? The only rust I have found on the car is a small
hole on top of the long in the hell hole. I'll start digging in there this
weekend to see how bad it is, but the rest of the longs are in great
shape (california cars = good)
