first gen bracing before new panels?
 
hi, before i take off the original panels in my first gen, i want to make a brace to hold everything together so it doesnt shift. Im replacing both (complete) quarter panels, the tail panel, roof, roof braces, and the filler panel(betweern rear window and the trunk). Does anybody have any suggestions on a design of it and how i should make the brace? thank you.

hmm, i cant think of what you could even brace it to since you are taking off all the panels i would suggest bracing.. I guess if you do one panel at a time it wouldn't flex like crazy.
Somebody help this guy out.

thanks, i figure it doesnt have to be too crazy of a brace if i do one panel at a time. I just dont want to go and put my fenders on and find out i cant becasue the car shifted, just wanna be safe not sorry.
