hi all, i am looking at building a body jig for my b body, it is for rear sheet metal replacement and don't want any twisting or sagging. Does anyone have blueprints, pictures, measurements or info on how to build this?
Any help is much appreciated

Here is what Jeff at 521 restorations has on his site. I thought it was a very good write up.

I like this! I've been analyzing my table / dolly my GTX sits on, and, wondering if there's a better more efficient and correct way to jig this, and other B bodies up! I'm going to modify my stand, an amalgamation of this fine design, and what I've got so far. Thanks.

That's a nice fixture, but I have always thought if I were to build one it would incorporate Big I beams that won't move during welding. Also Hilti anchors to tie it down.

Or, to keep the weight down, a 2x4 beam of a fair thickness would be ideal too.

You want basically the equivalent of a frame rack. Whatever the case you don't want the car telling it what to do.
