Yeah, if it's a vehicle with a sunroof. If it doesn't have the sunroof, then it won't matter, because it'll have the added strength. Whether the sunroof is in or not, there is a big chunk of the roof cut out...

I just need to know if I will see much benefit to welding in additional braces to the chassis...

I have no idea.

You know, there was an article John H. found that shows a roll cage installed in a 937. I wonder if there's added frame rigidity with one installed?

Yeup. A roll bar will greatly enhance torsional stiffness, even in a tube frame car. The design of a body on frame rail car is inherently flexy. There are ways to fix this, the easiest being putting in a roll cage. The harder one being to start welding in extra metal where you think it will help.
