In one of my more stellar DA moves, I neglected to notice that the emergency brake cable was still connected between said handle and the binders. Dropping the frame from the birdcage from my 79..birdcage on jack stands..I notice that the floor pan appears to be sagging. The firewall's removed. I had previously thought to myself "damn, that birdcage and aft body is pretty heavy". Rear suspension wasn't compressing, but the thing's basically a shell. So, as take the front wheels off and attempt to drop the frame down on a dolly, I notice the floor bend a little more. Further inspection reveals that the tranny tunnel has begun to separate from the aft panel behind the seats. I jack it back up and release the cable from the handle and the birdcage/floorpan assembly is real lite now, but I'm left with a bent floor pan.

Wow , that sucks ! I always remember a conversation I had with a couple of body repair guys I had years ago . They said the best thing to do , is try and exactly reverse what you did wrong . In your case to get something under the floor right where the cable pulled down and then get it to push back up . I would be thinking to put it back on the frame and bolt the cage down so it has some weight to resist just rising up with the jacking block you might use.

Just my thoughts on this and please , you have to put a pic up of it .
