Wondering if anybody can offer some support / photos on how to properly weld in support braces inside the cab of the car (1972 barracuda) so that the rear quarters can be removed?  I am working on a total restoration and need to get in to media blast.

Also, if the support braces are welded in, can the floor and truck pans be removed as well?

Thanks.

If you are just doing quarters you probably don`t need much bracing but if you want to be safe just a couple like this one should work-
