    Can see how valuable that frame jig is to you. Definitely worth it to build one for a restoration such as this.
    I will be building one for my next Impala. I have 5 patiently waiting their turn. Thanks for the info. Great substance.

When you Weld the framework inside of the car to keep it from twisting and warping where is the best places to Weld this temporary framework, And is it always a good idea to weld in the temporary framework or only when you're doing certain things Like moving the body around a lot Thank you so much for your help best regards Richard

      So... you've only cut clean metal on a bench with a plasma cutter, not painted, multi layered shapes that have rust, fiberglass, body filler, and lead filler possibly in them....... I see your experience level......
