Bracing shock towers?

these cars are pretty flexible in stock form. if it were me. i would leave the inner fenders. and even add bracing to that since you are running a big block. but if you really want to cut out the inner fenders, you should at least brace the frame rails with a piece of tubing from the frame to the firewall. like someone else stated. the load isnt really on the shock towers, but directed to the crossmember through the torsion bars.
