I'm looking for pictures of a properly braced 67 vert for replacing the floor pan. I also plan on replacing the floor pan cross supports. The body is bolted to the frame but I want to lift it after it's fully braced.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I just supported mine at the doors, as I did not replace the cross members. I used the door hinge and striker bolt holes to secure the brace.

I would suggest tubing running across from the B pillar to B pillar (just behind the doors) as well if you remove the floor braces.

Thank you Tempest.
I made door opening braces like yours with 1 inch steel tube. I also used the door hinge and striker bolt holes to secure the brace. I'm thinking of welding cross braces to these door braces.
Did you reinstall the doors prior to any cutting and welding to ensure that everything was straight. Any problems that I should be aware of.

thanks,
Jim

The body remained on the frame until the new floor was installed. Then, when I was about to lift the body off the frame I attached the braces.


I figured the body was not going to move as long as it was on the frame, and the braces would have been a real PITA to move around when installing the floor.


Hope this makes sense.
