I am almost ready to attach my new rear half floor panel. With the car on a rotisserie, I can rotate to any position. My intuition tells me to position the car upside down, so that any flex will tend to "open" the door frames, and do it equally. With the car sideways, any flex will be asymmetrical. I do have door and diagonal braces welded in.
Any suggestions? Am I being paranoid? |

Do your door braces allow you to mount the doors? -Andrew |
