A small detail from a project we’ve got in the shop

We’ve got an interesting project in the works right now, and for now I wanted to show this part of it. I’ll share more of the build later on.

This front strut bar(Monte Carlo Bar) is one of those simple changes where you can actually feel the difference.

It’s a pretty straightforward piece, but it helps stiffen up the engine bay and cut down on flex where these cars can use it.

It’s made from S355 structural steel and uses a turnbuckle in the middle, so it’s easy to get the fit where you want it.

I like this kind of upgrade because it still feels right for the car — simple, functional, and not trying too hard.

Would you keep something like this old-school and simple, or go with a more involved setup?
