You are correct, the flat stock will not resist compressive loads very well. The improvement in driving is noticeable even using the flat stock. The car does not track the grooves in the highway, whether they be road seams or the tire grooves in the interstate. I may construct one for my car from other material. The chassis braces are just one of the many simple projects Evan has done. He made the first set as a senior in high school, and it was a good learning project. Having more time when college is out of session in the summer, he will probably construct something more eleborate with dad's guidance.

He is busy gas welding up an upper chassis brace as I type this. I will be postioning the parts for him in a few minutes.
