[Chevelle-list] convertible A-body

[Jim Chris]

Just thowing this out there, I have a 68 convertible cutlass and entertaining 
the thought of a fram off at some point. the mid/rear part of the drivers side 
frame needs some attention and has  surface rust throughout?  do I take the 
doors off and brace it ? or just gentily raise it and hope for the best. 
greatful for any suggestions. Jimmy. C

If it were mine,I would always brace it. There would be no chance for it to
get tweaked or have alignment problems when reinstallation time comes.

I found my 65 Malibu to be completely solid and had the car on a rotisserie
without bracing.
