believe it was screaming performance had a convertible build going years back. maybe was a '68
picture's of it all stripped down on a jig with just the inner rear structures and all braced up.
I dont remember the posters name. tried doing a search as well.

I am looking to remove the floors, frame rails and rockers and wondering if my bracing is enough.
or if I should just do each side rocker 1 at a time.

Thanks

Definitely one side at a time on rockers. Check out my build video (below) where we replaced all of these on my 69 Convertible. We built a cart and then braced up the inside.
We built the cart before we removed any panels.

I have some photos of a 68 Camaro convertible on a jig. I am not sure who is the owner. If this is the jig you remember, I have more photos.

I apologize to the owner of the car for not giving him credit for the photos.

I wrote a thread a long time ago about extra bracing for convertible:
Extra Jig Bracing for rusty 1st Generation F bodies

Thanks Tony,
I have followed your builds and watched your video's several times before I started. just waiting for the next 1!

Thanks TP,
that is the picture I was looking for. I thought it turned out to be a orange car in the end.
but it showed me the bracing I was looking for. also followed your marathon build as well. you document everything very well and give a great explanation as you do it. I commend you!

I built a jig a few years back when I did frame rails and few floor patches on my coupe. just wanted to make sure I had it all braced up for a convert before starting. I cut out the firewall and passenger rocker. now awaiting the new rockers to arrive so I can start putting them back on.

good pictures, thanks for those.
what brand rockers did you both purchase?
I see AMD are a "X" part number so they are made under their brand. I am assuming they are all probably the same and just made then sold under all brands.

dynacorn Driver side was perfect. Passenger side needed trimming by the front fender.

Wow, there was nothing left of that vert! Great job!

Screamin Performance I looked at the pictures about 1000 times. Great resource. Brian is his name. 67 Speedfreak is his user name, I think. And, definitely check out Tony and Patrick's build threads.

Dynacorn, we had no real issues...
