Any body have plans or know of a jig that I can buy/build to put a 1970 body on while I replace body panels and framing? I have 3 cars that are major projects.

 

I've never seen such a jig. Most people temporarily weld in bracing with 1" square tubes before cutting the old panels out. Lots of measuring before and after (especially diagonal measurements to verify squareness) is also necessary.

 

Joe,

Thanks your for your reply! I was thinking of using 3 inch angle as a base and put vertical tube at the frame bushing holes with threaded rod to maintain alignment. I'm probably over engineering things. I'm still striping out the car and will have to evaluate how bad the body is. For sure I need door posts, floor, braces look good, and rear quarter panels.
