Bracing body before removing?
im about to lift off the body on my 69 gto hardtop,was wondering if i need any temp bracing so no warping issues ect.Eveerything is really solid and plan on leaving doors on it,but figured id ask before i destroyed it.Ive seen pics on here with people with braces in and some with none.ive got one rust spot on front pass. floorboard about 1 inch square and one on dr side about the size of finger nail other than that all is solid.All glass removed,interior,everything on firewall,basically just a shell with trunk and doors. thanks.

Brace convertibles, not hardtops.

I dropped my chassis, painted the body, and reattached the chassis without any issues.. no bracing. BTW, it rode on a rotisserie over about 50 miles of backroads, if that didn't fold it nothing will.
