Cross brace these two before cutting the structure loose to prevent the side to side braces from altering the width when you cut it loose.
Thanks for the tips Tommy. I am on the fence about whole roof vs skin. I know it will take a huge effort to do the full meal deal but I think the end result in my case may be worth it. I'll know more after I move the car and get the glass out and front clip off.
