About frame reinforcement at the time of restoration.

[RYO5566]

Hello! The roof has come off while the body is being restored, and we will replace the quarter panel, speaker panel, trunk floor, left and right doors, etc. Is it necessary to reinforce the frame with pipes like this picture when working from now on? We plan to work on the ground without removing the tires and chassis.
thank you for reading it until the very end!

If you leave the main floor in as well as the firewall and cowl, then perhaps not but better save than sorry, it would be worth the piece of mind I think.

Thanks for the advice! I will try it!

I would recheck the demissions (guide) unless you were the one that squared/plumed everything up recently. Never hurts two be sure. JMO
