A-Body Shock Tower Question

As mentioned above, that portion is spot welded to the inner fender well. On my '68 Barracuda, all but one or two of the spot welds there had broken loose. When installing my US Cartool chassis stiffening kit, I welded the entire shock tower to the inner fender and re-welded the spot welds. This stiffened the connection between the two structures.

If I had it to do over, I would connect the firewall to the shock tower (like the under fender brace from US Cartool does) and continue that brace from the firewall to the top of the shock tower and on down to the outside of the frame rail near the front end of it using one continuous tube.
