Those braces

Glademister,

So, those braces are adjustable. That is brilliant. So you can adjust the brace until the top fits and door gap is correct? Have you used those before on another car? I have a car that has the same long problems and I have been researching how to brace the car properly before I cut out the longs. I see now that your supports allow the door to stay on. Where did you attach that longest brace? The targa bar??

Have you also built braces from the door hinges to the door latch plate mount? Seems like the current set up shown here would allow the replacement of the outer but not the inner longs. Cool thread.
