Default Frame Stiffening for a '69

Hi All:

I've owned a '69 convertible since it came out of the showroom. Probably
will be burried in it.

One problem from day one is that the body/frame twists a lot. At about
60 mph, if there is any tire imbalance at all, a reasonace sets up with the
body/frame. I'm sure if I could stiffen the frame, the resonance would move
to a higher speed. Move the resonance up 20 mph and it would be a real good
reason not to break the speed limit.

I'll appreciate any pointers.

Joe
