Please excuse my lack of picture posting abilities with this thread. I am referencing Dale Jr's DSE built camaro. pictures are everywhere on this site and DSE's.
What I am curious to know is, the front subframe bracing that was done to his car. Is it enough to support and strengthen the front of a second gen to the point that the fenders no longer need to be structural? I have the hair brain idea to some how brace the front sub frame of my TA in such a manner that I can then remove weight off the front of the car by removing the extra bracing from the fenders and maybe even making composite inner fenders among other things. I am not planning a cage in my car at this time. So would something similar to what was done to his car accomplish my goal? Any one have another or better idea maybe?
Thanks
