    Soon, I will be breaking the “Ramses Rule of Classic Car Ownership”

    I’m not sure I have room for one in my garage but I’m hoping I can for the next project.

    I made braces out of square tubing from the hinge mount area to the rear door area.  I can try to look for those pictures.  I'm sure they are long gone off of here. 
     

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    I will take a lot of measurements to make sure nothing shifts. Will likely make supports from door hinges to latches and to shifter hole bolts. The only floor work will be between frame rail and inner rockers.
    I really think
    It will be more work putting the car on the rotisserie than it will be to do the bottom of the car.

    Nice catch.
