understood, I was just trying to pick x-bird's brain on his method of the side panels, as none on stock frame.
Since the frame flexes (torsional) needs material and fastener method that can give/flex slightly with it so no stress cracking as the top/bottom frame will move so slightly relative to each other.

Side bar: I worked for GM way back in 1986 and was part of the team that added X-braces to the Corvette so we could launch the 1986 Corvette convertible, to somewhat keep the convertible torsional stability in same league as the base 'Vette. Spent many months at Bowling Green KY, way before Saturn came there.
