Just Kidding, no harm no foul...but something that "I" always look for on ANY 2nd Gen TA...but none of mine are as nice as yours, so... 
Question: Something I've thought of while reading on your other threads about your Y88 engine and clutch increased power and torque - with the add'l drivetrain output what are you going to do to keep that T-Top body from flexing? - bolton subframe connectors, or?
Was amazing how stiff our T-Top '79 Y84 became with the simple bolt on "Lakewood" slapper traction bars back in the '90s...but I'm sure you want to maintain that stock stealth look, yes?
Don't care what anyone sez - you do good work!!!! Thx for sharing with us. |

In terms of stiffening, I don't plan to do anything. I don't plan to track the car and with the stock skinny tires I hope it won't be an issue. If it is, I'll deal with it then...

If you change your mind after the 1st few 100 burnouts LMK...
Walking into our modest garage I literally walk past the factory box containing a set of new never used Competition Engineering #C3114 Bolt-In Frame Connectors for
1976-81 Firebird as shown below...
