zero Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I am about to cut out my floors and frame rails and replace the already poorly fixed work. I am going to have to cut a very significant amount of metal out, and since I don't have a rotisserie, I am worried about the chassis distorting when I remove the rails. Should I add bracing to the chassis in any way before I cut out the frames, and also, is there any way I should support the car i.e. on the wheels or on jackstands in specific places or whatever. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Only do one side at a time. Take the wheels and tires off and place the car on as many jackstands as you have. Weld a 1" square tube lengthwise in each door opening as low as possible while still giving yourself room to work. It would help to remove as much weight as possible. Things like the engine and trans are good items to get out of the chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
