I doubt some minimal bracing under the car will do anything to support the sides of the car when the roof is cut off.

They ran the car over the pit ... welded frame connectors on it...... the next stop was to cut the top off no other bracing was ever put in the car... even the tops of the 1/4's where the roof came down were cut open clear back to the tail lights and it was only capped with a glued on fiberglass piece never welded...

Wasn't talking about yours, I was talking about the stock t-top car the dude has who started this thread.. I don't recall seeing anything extra on t-top cars... Originally Posted by MrMopar64

thats just it they sent them out to be chopped. convs.were cut from t-tops.the article said that there was factory frame bracing that was added for sopport in place of the roof section that was removed when the t-top was origanally cut open. idon't guess theres more research to be done before we start cuttin anda choppin PS. JUST FOUND OUT I'VE GOT ANOTHER CREW MEMBER ON THE WAY!
