Here's my thought. You can see from the photos that the heater channel, crossmember, luggage tray and wheelhouse have to be replaced on the right side. I can raise the body with two chain hoists. With one rope through the window holes and one around the front where the tank was,
can I take out everything that I listed above without ruining the body? IF it's not safe, I'd have to do everything with the body sitting on the garage floor.

Most of the fender nuts are okay. I think with the tray out I can weld in a few new nuts from the underside and not have to replace the whole fender fastening panel.

TIA,

Kevin

I'd be thinking of welding in cross supports with this much stuff.
