If it were my car I would do everything I could to make sure it stays straight. I would take the doors off & brace the body as I stated above. They also serve as a great lifting point, if you are using a cherry picker or overhead winch.

This '67 GTO 'vert had an NOS GM right rear 1/4 installed because of damage, not rust. You can see the date on the pics. This was a car my dad restored for a friend of his back then. It was a Georgia car that was pretty much a virgin before the frame-off. Original motor/trans/rearend/etc. with 400, TH400, A/C, His & hers, am/fm, etc. It was heavily modified during/after the restoration, but has since been sold.
