Bracing shock towers?

I love how everyone talks about the frame on a bodies being only sheet metal... WTF do you think inner fenders are made out of ??? they are just sheet metal, if its going to twist without the inner fenders then it will twist with them.

I know WTF im talking about, i went 170 MPH with this & its still straight.... i've also hit many pot holes at about 40 mph too.

This is a good point. Although I could see the inner fenders tying into the body offering some extra support. But I like to hear real world tests of running like this. This is a street/strip that I presume will run 11.50's or so. And for those curious why I want to cut them out, read the whole thread. Plus this will give info to guys considering it.
