I already tied the frame rails, If I extend the tie in past the trans cross member & tie it into the front rail would it help to strengthen the front by triangulating that area ? I think the front rails were angled in that area to clear the torsion bars & I'm going with something different. I also still have the trunk floor out. Will it help any to try to straighten the rear rails ( Going triangulated 4 link). I don't want to reinvent the wheel, But while it's all apart now would be the time to give it all the strength I can short of a tube frame ( but don't mind adding extra tubes ) Anything past the rear shock mounts is there just to hold up the rear of the body... you dont need any triangulation back there unless your going to use the quarter panels as strength
