Looks like it would be effective. The LS had something added which was very similar in concept very early in it's production and the LS is arguably one of the tightest Lincolns on the road

Mmaker just built something like that for his car...

Roaboss has them also.

What is the best combo front front and back, for braces, for a daily driver?

 

[Roadboss]

I don't understand the question.

 

[jhargarage]

I don't understand how that helps with only a single mounting point on both ends?

 

[kustomizingkid]

Any bracing is going to help, especially on our heavy cars with a stiff as a wet noodle unibody structure...

Its about keeping to points from moving farther apart. One or two holes, wont matter much.

From what I have read, anyone who installed bracing could not have been happier doing it.

Same. Though not nearly as quickly as you.

I'm considering cutting the floor up when I replace the carpet.

 

[mafioso]

cut the floor up?

 

[poniesviii]

Yeah, so I have support without the clearance issue. I'm not sure how I would go about it, probably something welded to the firewall. In the rear it would be nice to get around the gas tank somehow.

 

[topher5150]

I don't understand the question.

i just wanted to know, for the front and the back, which would the biggest bang for the buck. no sence in putting stuff that i don't really need

 

[kustomizingkid]

Doing that brace on the front will probably give you the most bang for the buck, but if you can fabricate both could easily be done cheaper than just buying the front ones from super coupe.

I think I understand, you want to channel the body for the braces correct?

 

[Roadboss]

Go to a Fuel cell mounted in the spare tire well and you will have all the room you need. The rear braces I made cleared the tank with no issues.

Yes, but I don't want to mess up the foot-space, or cut up brand new carpet, so.. I'll have to get the car up on the lift again when the time comes and look around.

But a fuel cell in the spare tire well wouldn't get me more than 200 miles if I was lucky, I drive cross country regularly. There's no room for maneuvering a brace around the gas tank though. So who knows!

The flex is horrid when going into gas stations, etc, at an angle. Sometimes two tires are off the ground. Heh.
