Door removal on body lift

[David H.]

What is the purpose of removing the doors when doing a body lift on a '62? Seems to me leaving them on would help to support and stiffen the body as it is lifted.

I would not only remove the doors, but install braces to do the support job you mentioned, but a lot more securely.

Much better example shown in this, a previous discussion.
