1936 ford body help

[Bruce/CT]

Hi,

Help please. Sorry if this is long but I'm trying to be complete.

I have my 1936 Body up on blocks and have the cowl and rear bumper bolt holes attached to a Rotisserie. I still have 4X4's and cement blocks under it. I have a new set of Bradley Floor Pans and am ordering Sub Rail pieces from McPherson Metalworks in Kansas. My floors are intact with small rot out areas. They have been patched by prior owners. I have cross-braced the cockpit with 1X1 steel.

I had hoped to turn the body up 90 degrees and put in the Sub Rails BUT with significant rot at the Drivers side Cowl and the Sub Rail completely rotted at the Cowl, I am concerned that there will NOT be enough support at the Drivers front corner. I am afraid things will twist before I can do the repair.

I have entertained the idea of moving the front 4X4 pillars towards the rear and removing the front rotisserie.They I could do that corners work and the put it back on the rotisserie.

Any comments?

Thanks,
Bruce
