Our cars twist because they are unibody design. They twist even more when made into T-Tops or convertibles because a lot of torsional rigidity is dependent on the roof structure. All T-Top factory cars had added bracing; the factory would not add that unless absolutely necessary, knowing the cost conscious state that Chrysler was in at that time. The main point being, the cars were considered too flexible without the added bracing. It doesn't mean the only way to prevent chassis flex is to put the factory bracing system back in; there are a lot of ways to do it. Just know that it is necessary.
