I did alot of panel replacement on an ot 67 Chevelle and before anything was cut out, I cut up 40 feet worth of square tubing to brace the car.




Here is a pic of mine as I was beginning to brace. It kind of shows how I kept the tail panel and trunk rails in place. The post beside the car are lagged to the concrete. The pic isn't good but I also made jack stands that were threaded so I could level the frame rails before I started cutting. This was all done in my little shop in Iowa. I ended up having to move mid project so it went to a body shop for final welding and body work. It ended up on a rotisserie for blasting and paint.
