Message	The initial gameplan was to build the rails and be done. They helped a lot but still left something to be desired. So we started jacking up 1 wheel at at time to see where the flex came from. As it turns out, a stamped frame car without a roof just really benefits from an under chassis cross support. It’s odd Nissan never really did anything to account for removing the roof.
