Whats up with the strut towers!?!
He raised the towers in the car to lower the car , by mounting the top of the struts higher you lower the car . alot of race cars do this and still keep the stock suspension travel

Reinforcement with 14ga steel for connecting to the roll cage to strut tower (suspension pick up points) to triangulate the Roll cage to the uni body (frame) to the suspension pick up points effectively making the car a super stiff tube chassis race car instead of flexy uni body want to be race car. Main reason for roll cage is safety of course but we road racers like it because of the dynamics it plays on chassis stiffness/tuning. The strut tower brace will be obsolete once all the 1 3/4"x.096 wall DOM 4130 tubing is welded in. FYI before welding the tubing to the strut tower a piece of 1/4" steel plate will be welded to the top of the strut tower and a 4"x4" piece of steel plate welded to the reinforcement where the tubing meets the tower.
