this thread is timely for me as I just acquired a 36 4 door sedan with bad floors, rockers, and marginal front cowl corners.
The 36 frame looks pretty bad in places but I have a 39 good frame to transfer the body to and do the repairs.
I was thinking of building a cross braced frame from 1 or 2 inch square tubing on the inside and moving the body but after reading all of the above was wondering if it makes sense to do some of the repairs like the front cowls on the original frame and then transfer to the good frame for the major repairs.
Fenders, running boards, and fenders appear like they have never been off the car.
All the bots are rusty and will likely break during removal.
