A-Body chassis bracing- stock and aftermarket- what's good?

Uscartool makes a nice A body tubular lower radiator support brace. Im going to duplicate that with my friends hydraulic tubing bender.

I also saw some upper shock tower bracing custom built by a gent on an A body cuda at englishtown nj one springtime swap meet. The bracing went from both inner fenderwells at the shock tower brace, and tied together at the top center of the.firewall. Like a letter V. Then he had a brace that went across from shock tower to shock tower triangulating it in. This one bumped up to clear the engine then bumped down to tie the shock towers together. I believe this part used adjustable rod ends and was easily removable for engine mtx or swaps.

Look at an old 65 mustang shelby. You will see the stamped braces from shocks to firewall. This was factory ford it was called an "export brace". The bar that ran from tower to tower straight across with i believe a bend to clear the air cleaner was a shelby design it was called a "monte carlo bar"

Now our A bodies are a little different than a mustang, but similar enough that bracing the engine compartment will stiffen it up the same. The 1960s model mustang and our Abodies are all unibody construction.

I intend to eventually make this kind of setup for my 67 cuda.
