Hi Guys
I am ready to cut out my old rear frame rails . I was just wondering if anyones knows if I should weld any sort of bracing in the trunck area before cutting them out.Or is it safe to just cut them out.
Im worried about the back end buckling down.

Thanks

 

I'd temporary weld in a few braces.

 

you should be able to just drop oneside at a time, but to be safe weld in some braces and siuch. just to be safe

 

Thanks Guys ,
Should I weld the braces from quater to quater?

 

get 2 bars both the same lenght and cross them from quarter to quater.

 

have 2 criss cross and 1 straight accross,2 across would be better...thats how ive always braced. never failed me.

 

Is it different when you only remove the rails? When I did mine, I took a plumbob...after putting it up on stands, and dropped several points to the ground, marking everything out. I removed the whole car from behind the doors and the rear glass back. Needless to say, there was nothing to brace. Nothing bucked, or even moved and it came out great.

 

Removing the whole car vs removing certain braces are 2 different things. sometimes you can get luck others not. best to brace and be safe so you dont have to take the whole car apart to have to realign everything.
