Getting ready to remove the body from the chassis of my 31 Tudor. All glass is installed in car. I will be using an electronic hoist i just purchased and a strap. My question is, should i brace the body from the inside to keep it from flexing and possibly cracking the glass? If so how would you recommend doing so? I am going to transfer the body to a dolly i made and look into having her soda blasted. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Hey, Remove the glass PRIOR to unbolting the body-no risk of broken glass from movement-, since your goal is to have the body blasted. Depending on how serious the rust is, I'd remove any interior that's left, and cross brace the B posts atleast. If you're replacing rockers or floors, I'd brace the A to B posts as well! hope that helps! Swankey Devils C.C. "Spending A Nation Into Generational Debt Is Not An Act Of Compassion!"
I agree with pimpin paint,for shure do some bracing,you don't want to tweak your body.Especially if your doors etc. already line up good.
