We start on the floors/quarters/ trunk floor next month. The car will go on the rotissere and I want to ensure the shell is well braced.
Any tips or websites with plans for braces for a 1968 ragtop.
Thanks
Arno

I used 2" angle iron and drilled holes to match the door hinges and rear convertible brace supports and then used some 1/2" square steel stock for cross-hatches in the openings. Then Mig welded them in place after bolting the angle iron on. This will hinder test fitting the doors though:

Accessible Systems have the adjustible type you can buy, but I have not seen them in person:
