    Frame bracing.

     



    I was out in the garage looking at the frame, and wondering if it would do me any good to modify the middle braces? I was thinking of maybe removing the old ones, and making a x-brace type support.But i have no idea what effects different support types have on handling. I know very little about frame engineering, so i figured i would ask you guys. Would it make any noticable difference in handling? Im not running alot of hp, so i should not have to worry too much about frame twist. Plus i would like to incorporate a driveshaft loop into the frame also.
