recco's for conv frame stiffening GM a-body?
All--
I have a 71 Cutlass conv w/a pretty rusty frame. I have a replacement convertible boxed frame that is much more solid, that I will shortly get media blasted then powder coated. I will probably then store the frame for a couple of years until I have the time to remove and replace--but I want to go ahead and get the frame done now to help preserve it and I have a place convenient to get it done. The question I have is there anything else that I should do to stiffen the frame prior to getting it powdercoated? I will ultiimately be keeping the 4 link rear suspension w/nicer performance control arms, and I want to preserve all stock exhaust options (so things like the HTH suspension are out). Any simple things that really make a difference?
Thx for any thoughts, pics or links really appreciated.
