need to stiffen chassis of chop-top 1966
I recently purchased a 1966 Mustang 2v289, built as a coupe, but now it is removeable. Thus I have a convertible built as a coupe, and of course, it is quite the flexible flyer. Thus the chassis must be stiffened. I don't intend to race this car, just drive it around town and on short trips. So I am leaving the engine, C4 transmissions, and drum brakes as is.
I was thinking of installing Heidt's chassis frame stiffener and sub-frame connectors.
Opinions on this? Is there other work I should do to improve the chassis?
Thanks!

You need to add the items in red on phase 1. This makes it a convertible unibody.
