Convertible Body Twist
 
Everyone,

I wanted to get a few opinions. I have a 1967 Firebird convertible with a 462 pumping out 585 hp and 560 trq. To prevent frame twist I installed weld in frame connectors and stitch welded the floor. Do you think I need to install more reinforcements to prevent frame twist, if so what should I do? We are almost done with the paint and I would hate to ruin the body. Let me know what you think.

Thanks

If you don't have the original convertible brace (many have disappeared over time) get one.

also if you got stiff springs, shocks or anty sway bars the frame will start to twist rather than the suspension, Those graphite bushings dont help either.
