Tip: I left the engine in place to use it as a counterweight to adjust the door gap
while the inner rockers were removed. Place jack stands under the rear axle and under the frame points near the front
torque boxes. Put the floor jack under the front cross member.
Tip 2: Drill 5/16" holes in the floor pans and use plug welds to weld to the frame components. It takes a
lot more time to line everything up, but I prefer to use butt welds to attach the new sheet metal to the existing. You
can use lap joints but it gives moisture a place to hide and rust to start.
