Ready to start Bugeye floor replacement. It is up on a rotisserie. Will do all pannels one at a time, including lateral cross members just below knees. In order to minimumize distortion I will install braces in both door areas.
Question: is there a prefered method for bracing? Some kind of "X" is probably strongest, but more difficult to fabricate. Looks like 1 1/2" angle iron welded between flat plates on each end, and then bolted to top door hinge mount and door latch striker stud mount, would be a lot easier to make and install than an "X" brace. This would only produce a "box" shaped brace. However, if something more substantial than what I described is necessary I'll do whatever it takes. Don't need over kill, but don't want to screw up due to a few extra hours work.
Thoughts from guys who have done this job??? Thanks.
