    Whats it do? Get in the way while working on your engine! :p

    No really, very nice job. I love fabricating my own stuff. To answer the question, it is to help keep the shock towers from flexing during hard cornering, like in a road race course like Monte Carlo, hense the name. Shock tower flex can increase the bump steer effect inherent to Ford uni-body cars like the early Mustangs and Mavericks.

    my shock tower braces are held in with pins, then you turn the bar and tighten them. each end is threaded in the opposite direction. just loosen, pull the pins, and lift them out of the way. just an idea.:)
