Doors could be put on and cross braces welded in, or should I wait till the car is sitting on its wheels, drive train in? It's a 70 B-body. Oh yeah, it's a hybrid.....it burns gas and tires!

Yes, no problem Okay, let me ask the question the other way. Can I install torque boxes on my A-body that is completely done and painted without damaging the finish on the rocker panels? Some see the glass as half empty, some see the glass as half full. I just drink straight out of the bottle.

I don't see any problem with that but you'll probably need to haze some overspray on them (the boxes) when you are done.

I just want to avoid any surprises when it comes off the rotisserie. Oh yeah, it's a hybrid.....it burns gas and tires!
