Hey Frank,

Been there last summer - done that too. No, it didn't damage anything on my backend. By the way, I'm envious of the condition of your Bird Cage. Looks pretty good. Better than mine turned out to be.

Thanks 80baby. Believe me bird cage did not always looked that way. Had to replace a lot of the windshield frame and do some patching on the left rocker.

I supported my '69 with a half sheet of 3/4 plywood under the foot wells (and a support under the back end to keep it steady) to do some rocker channel repair with no issues. Not sure how much heavier your back end is though, prob not too much difference...
