Are they worth tilting or cold bending to help them get a little stronger at firewall?

On all of my GMs I put a 1 inch thick piece of steel to help from nosing

Not allowed to seem weld, can hard nose, can tilt, can use lower cradle, the rules are kinda funky

noser23x I agree that some frame manipulation can be done on any car with the right rules and especially with a seasoned builder, but if someone knows nothing or very little about an old iron GM like the guy asking if a 75 Buick limited is a decent car, my generic answer is an old iron GM frame can be left alone and be competitive.

Is it worth canoeing the trunk if you can’t body crease, can run a rear window bar

Is it worth canoeing the trunk if you can’t body crease, can run a rear window bar If it were me I would just run a very simple tuck. Canoeing makes the top harder, and in doing so makes everything else weaker since you cant manipulate fenders. More likely to dump with it done in my opinion.
