Thanks for all the advice re: the frame-off bracing. I'll take your advice and have the rockers repaired first. I do have a couple more questions:
1. I purchased some replacement outer rockers. What arrived are pieces that appear to have a flat bevelled exterior, and don't look like the slightly curved pieces that are on the car. Has anyone else dealt with this? Did I buy some poor outer rocker replacments? Are you sposed to bend the rocker panels to achieve the curve? Where did you folks find outer rockers of the correct shape?
2. Re: the clutch - What is in my T-bird looks exactly like the setup for the standard car clutch setup as shown in the big, blue 1957 ford shop manual - and looks nothing like the assembly shown in the Thunderbird parts manuals and T-bird catalogs (larry's, etc.) that I have. What I have has the equilizer rod, the split bushings, etc. Do I have the correct setup for a t-bird or for a passenger car that someone has installed? Any advice would again be appreciated.
Thanks folks.
