rocker replacement on 1972 Spitfire...

["Smith, Brian (Inland-Gaylord)" <BSmith51@ICCNET.COM>]

Dear Listers,

I know this has been covered ad nauseum, but I am facing this task soon.  My
question is this:  I have a factory hard top (steel).  will this provide the
needed structural support for the body by its self?  I'm not in the mood nor
do I have the space to remove the door and weld in a brace.  The hardtop is
a standard winter item and it would make the job easier from me.  (I will be
doing the replacement outside...the garage is full of my TR3 project.
