While the inner fenders are steel, I don't know that they have the strength to help much. And then you wouldn't be able to drop the K either.
That Monte Carlo bar idea is an interesting one. Would be quite the arch, and with the low hood line of the Cordoba, I don't know that there's room for it.
Been awhile since I've been up close and personal with the later Bs. I thought the inner fender was more of a liner than a shear panel like the earlier cars.
