Reply to "chasis bracing"

All or most Pantera parts vendors sell front & rear chassis bracing. All are of different design to accomplish about the same thing. To say one "works" means, for your particular situation, which is unknown. For instance, an older gentleman that always drives his Pantera at reasonable speeds on smooth highways has very different parameters for chassis stiffness that 'Ricky-Racer' who has his Pantera flat-to-the-floor at open track events each weekend. The brace systems are fairly new and were conceived to cure paint and metal cracking in the known weak spots in a Pantera chassis. Since the cracking didn't show up right away even when the cars were unmodified, its a bit too soon to say that any design "cured" it and others didn't. But some restrict access to certain areas of the car: specifically, Hall's front upper brace fouls up use of the front trunk for storage, and PPCs lower rear system restricts access to the underside of the transaxle and clutch. Others have similar areas. Call each one up, get brochures and decide what you actually need and what restrictions you can live with.
