Hi all,
I'm doing some body work and welding and so on. I'm not going to install rocker panels back on my car. Since my car didn't come with them in the first place, this works out great.
So here's the deal... if rockers are installed, there would be some added rigidity to the 1/4 panel (I'm talking about the section near the torsen bar cover) Being that I'm not using them, should I add some sort of brace or support to keep things tight?
What have you guys done?
Thanks,
Derek
