As I was working on sally's 40 y/o saggy front end this morning the thought occured to me that while I've got her apart, maybe I should weld my export brace in. I have heard that some have done this.........what dy'all think?
To Weld, or Not To Weld...........

Count me in with the "Don't weld it" crowd. While I like to burn rod (or wire) as much as the next 27 guys; making the shock towers and export brace into one solid unit is really gonna cramp your style when you decide to thumb your nose at the Ay-rabs and stuff a Windsor into the space left by your (departed) six-in-a-row.
And don't tell me that you aren't thinking of that while you're putting all those V8 chassis components in......

First, I am not "ggeeky" - there's only one "g" - Sheese!
Meanwhile - Okay! Go ahead and weld the steenkin' export brace in there! When you get that Aussie "divorced" head/intake; just upload pictures of you trying to plop it on in place of the old head!
