70 SS acadian Mar 17th, 10, 11:31 PM I need to replace the floors and trunk in my 65 Beaumont convertible. I don`t know if I should do this on a spit or leave it on the frame. I can brace the door openings but I don`t want the car to fold up. What should I do? JohnC Mar 18th, 10, 1:50 AM I'm pretty sure your don't need to put it on a rotisserie to replace pans, floor or trunk. 67shovel Mar 18th, 10, 7:56 AM Replace or make sure your body to frame bushings are in good condition, then you can work on it while on the frame. John McGraw Mar 18th, 10, 1:28 PM It kind of depends on how the car is attached to the rotisserie. My rotisserie is setup so that the body is bolted down solid at all original body mount locations. I would think that trying to do this on one of the rotisseries that only mounts at the front and rear of the body, would cause some problems. That is why I built mine the way I did 6 years ago, I wanted to be able to change out any body panel while it was off the chassis without worrying about panel alignment.
