Wish I would have found this site and these steps before I did mine. It's not too out of whack but definitely noticeable.

1. Don't take the top off until after the body work is done
2. Replace the Body Mounts if they are rotted/gone prior to starting
3. Brace up the door openings (and take measurements) to make sure the firewall doesn't sag if the body is weak when you start cutting out metal.
