I am not saying that the cars don't crack. I'm just saying that they won't necessarily not crack with the bracing added.
What I noticed on the Panteras is that the cracks appear shortly after the car gets stripped down and repainted and that I suspect that many times just the paint has cracked there.
Mine cracked in the usual spots sitting in the garage with ZERO miles on it with fresh paint. It had been stripped down, re-primed, and re-painted.
Upon stripping it down (again) in those areas MY car had no cracks in the sheet metal skin, just the paint.
It is kind of difficult to conduct a scientific experiment on the cars now and the histories o every car are different.
If one chooses to believe that the braces will absolutely eliminate the cracking that is fine.
For me, they would have made absolutely no difference at all. The paint still would have cracked.
Just sayin'.
