Pro body guys will use alot of X braces & support rods to stabilize the body while its all chopped up. I hope you have been doing all that to keep it measuring square. I very much admire your bravery to take on such a task!
My car got NOS quarters & tail panel & I was not up to try it.

I used X-bracing over the back seat area and welded bracing from my rockers to my body cart. I was really nervous about the floor removal, but I measured everything good before I cut it out, and again after it was fully removed and nothing moved. I also welded bracing at the front of the rear frame rails and attached them to the cart along with bracing at the rear of the frame rails. We'll see when she's all put back together, but as of now, it looks good.
