Vista Cruiser fender braces?
I bought a 70 Vista Cruiser earlier this year, it has had a few parts removed from it. I can see from a old video that it had braces from the center of the firewall out over the engine to the front fenders. I would like to replace these if not too costly. I see ads for "big block fender braces" and looked at those but they appear to be curved. My 71 convertible doesn't have them. This wagon has a 350. Any one know what I am looking for? thanks Greg.

The big block fender braces run from the bottom of the cowl area to the hood hinge area. These are completely different. The VC braces you are talking about are straight and I'm not aware of anyone who is reproing them.
