The Ford Barn

I am seriously thinking about installing two rods with a turnbuckle in the middle attached to the sides of my cabriolet where the original turnbuckles are. This addition would go across the car and allow me to adjust that body so those doors would be flush from the tops to the bottoms. I think it would make the car look so much better and would really be imposible to see. The idea of having horizontal strength added to the back part of that open body seems like good idea, but am I missing something that would make this a mistake?

This car is not going to be a show car so I don't have to worry about points. I just want it to look the way I think it should.
