hey im taking the body of my car off in the spring so i was wondering if anyone would happen to know where i would weld x shapes to support the body so it does not flex when removing it

I forget, is it a 2 door hardtop?

yes sir

Some may not agree with me but I would say if the doors are on/closed and you lock them so they are not opened by accident, then it should be well enough supported. And if I'm wrong, well.......................that has happened before!!!

yea the floors in the car are not the best so i was just wondering

I have had mine on saw horses for years with no problems, doors open and close no problem, door gaps have not moved. But I have good rockers and a good floor.

see my drivers side rocker is gone and my floors have basketballs holes

Anything I've ever seen or read when it comes to taking the body off of a frame it's been firmly stated to make sure if the doors are off the vehicle, to put braces in. Any body-off restoration I've seen pictures of have always had braces. I would think for all it takes, it would be best just to brace them and that way you'll have absolutely no worries. Just my opinion anyways Jonathan.

The braces I have seen "usually" go from the top front door piller post to bottom of rear pillar [1/4 panel] & top of rear to bottom of front post to form an X !!! Just need to be Tack Welded in. This should "stiffen it up"

When I did my Lemans....the only floor support I had was the rear brace at the front of the rear seat. That was it, it was one BIG open hole. Once I removed the body, I never opened the doors until I had the front floor back in. They still open as well today (back on the frame) as they did before I removed it. No bracing done here!!!
