I now have the '47 Chrysler Windsor in the shop. I have the body pulled off the frame and the front clip removed. If things were ideal it would have been nice to cross brace the body from the inside prior to pullin the body off the frame. the entire floor of the chrysler had rotted away and as a result the body was no longer square (it had flexed out at a number of points.) After we pulled the body off the frame we laid it on the floor and went about pulling and stretching it to get it close to where we felt it was straight. This probably was not the best way to do this but it was what we came up with. we then welded bracing all over the inside so as to keep it in that shape while we cut out the floors, rockers, trunk floor and original under floor bracing. We also began fabricating the new rockers and floor pans. I will post the pics as soon as I find the cord for the camera.
