It's a fender brace! Oh man what a difference these make! I direct welded and it's awesome. It is pretty close to the tires but i've yet to rub them even on speedbumps and dips, not rubbing yet! Just thought I'd share it here.

That's not a fender brace. THIS is a fender brace!



And yes, a properly done fender brace makes a world of difference on these cars.

A guy on the forums here made them for me years back. His name is in my build thread, but I doubt he's still around.
