Dh1969

I have removed the doors from my 1969 corvette project car for rebuild. Does anyone have any pictures or designs they have used for how they supported the birdcage against flexing during a body lift without doors? If the doors are reinstalled, are they strong enough to support flexing? Currently I'm planning on using body lift straps with a separate strap to the front of the car to support the nose. Any ideas would be appreciated! I'm trying to prepare the garage and car for lifting the body later this year. Thanks in advance!

if its a coupe does not matter, if a conv, than install the doors and close and latch them

This is what I did and it worked well. My only issue was having existing damage that started to separate the rear end from the birdcage. I used straps at the rear of the body to add support back there.

A chain and turnbuckle worked fine for me.

The only issue I see there is that the support only works in one direction.
