Ready to put the 66 Dart GT hardtop on the rotisserie.

I will not be cutting and replacing any floor etc. A lower rear wheel arch is all the metal work needed. So the question is do I need to brace the door openings and cross brace? Or will it rigid enough.
 
You should be okay, but it wouldn’t hurt only a few dollars for the material and a bit of your time
 
I screwed a couple 2x4 steel studs across the door openings until I had the subframe connectors in place.
 
If thats all the work that needs to be done it seems like a waste of time to put it on a rotisserie. You shouldn't need any additional support for that repair.

The rotisserie is for more than just body work. Being able to prep and paint the underside easily is a god send with one.

I went this route due to too many old injuries and ortho surgeries. It is worth it me and I will sell it when done.

Thanks for responses guys.
