My next challenge, front door posts. I'll have to brace this area pretty good before I remove the body from the frame. When the front doors are opened they fall about 2 inches. The floor just inside of the door post areas are rusted out and flex from the weight of the doors.

Bracing the front door posts for the rotisserie.

My son Andy and his friend Matt helped pulled the body off the frame and mount it on the rotisserie. It went very easy and I didn't get any flex so I must have braced the weak floor enough.

After mounting the body on the rotisserie I pressure washed the frame. There was a lot of caked on gunk on the differencial and front suspension parts. I didn't find any more bad spots on the frame, all of the rust damage seems to be confined to the front crossmember.
