Maybe a set of shock tower reinforcements, they're pricey but will significantly improve durability.

Wouldn't an export brace (1 pc) help you keep things lined up?

That and a Monte Carlo bar. Sub frame connectors, sway bars and traction bars help too.

I meant just while he was welding, as I recall he is replacing most of the front of the car. The one piece export brace will be bolted to the firewall and will help guide the welding of the frame etc by helping line up the shock towers.

(NOTE: Just a suggestion, I havent done any welding before. )
