Where to brace body whilst repairing rockers/frame rails? 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be Rockmonton on  Thu Nov 19 17:17 CST 2009 [RELATED]

Hey guys, gotta do the big cut now to start repairing the unibody on the 1959/60' that means cutting out some structural bits. I've got a whack of 3 and 4" square tubing that i'm intending to use to brace up the body. I'm just trying to figure out where to put it.

I'm thinking right now, between the A pillars where the dash was, between the B pillars and then a brace between them and to the large hump behind the front seats.

any suggestions/tips/tricks? I'm fairly certain i'll be rebuilding the inner structure of the rocker panel too, so it will have to last a while like this. I will also add in the 3/16" Plate for a roll cage and for my suspension mounts as well.

May have a line on the 540i rear end now too!
