Re: door question

The floor must be supported by good torque boxes and rocker panels in place--welded in with the top on to insure proper alignment. You also must have decent body to frame mounts in place and properly shimmed to prevent the body from sagging when you remove the top. THis is a common issue with ALL convertables---. The bodies were not built for convertable design but were done as an after thought--mustangs--chevy's---just about every vehicle. Only those built as a convertable only are usually stiff enough to avoid the door sag issue.
