Hey, I have cut through the A-pillar on my car, and will eventually cut out the bottom of the door frame and A-panel for a replacment. I'm just worried the car will fall in half since it would only be supported by the passenger side. Is there a recommended way to tackle this? Thanks. |

Havent got one, or the space to have it. Also trying to get out of completely stripping the car down to do so. I work for an engineering mob, maybe I could make some thing to hold it all up. |

Tack weld some braces in the car before you do the cutting. |

Just support the rear of the front subframe, and the front of the rear subframe. The best thing to do is to get your car on perfectly level cement, then using an alignment diagram, support your car at the correct height with the wheels removed.

Yep that's the only way, IMO.. It's how people in US & UK do it for major restos. |
