    Need ideas on shoring up my chop top!

     



    Hello Family, I have a 53 ford crestline victoria 2 door that I bought last month.

    I want to rat rod it but I am starting from the ground up. The first thing I need to do is support the shell somehoe since the top was cut. The front half of the car moves way too much and the door gap grows and shrinks with movement.

    I wanted this car because it was chopped and I wanted a fairweather car, but I have no idea how to go about bracing it???

    I dont want to weld in 200lbs worth of steel and I would want to hide whatever I have to do.

    Does anybody have experience with this problem?

    Thanks in advance
