Is there a fool proof way to make sure my cuda is level for torque boxes and subframe connectors when it is just a shell? No torsion bars or shocks and all the bushings need to be replaced. Can i do this or is it better to replace everything first? I've seen where they weld bars across the inside of the shell on convertibles also would that be a good idea? I would like to do this on a rotisserie but i dont want to mess it up thanks?

You can use a level to level the center section. 3 4' levels would help.1st across the front laterals at the control hole to be consistent. 2nd rear laterals at the control hole to be consistent. level left to right then use 3rd to level front to rear on the other levels.then recheck and support front and rear,if need be. Also check you level by turning 180. picture show a digital level I bought to use had a audio tone when level. took it back to harbor freight and got one that worked.Gravity doesn't lie. other pictures show an 1/8'' difference in torsion bar member. Or you can go off the rocker panels on top.
