[DeTomaso] Chassis stiffening kit install

[Larry Stock]

If one actually was an engineer and analyzed this brace, it is utterly
useless. It braces the shear wall construction already built into the
upper A-Arm mounting points. Not much movement here with the factory job.
Lots of help is needed down below to take the twist out of the lower A-Arm
supports. Larry
