This is my first time posting.
I have a 55 T Bird which I need to replace some the floor brackets. Has anyone replaced those without lifting the body?

I have an update on the brackets. I bought new brakets and learned the ones I needed to replace ( 3 on each side ) were basically floor brackets and when I put in new floor pans it was no problem.
Did not take body off but it came out nice. Clean and rust free.
Have one more front pan to replace. I just posted a separate thread trying to find out how to remove kick panels without damaging them.

Rockers,pans and braces replaced in for new paint.
The brace pics may be hard to figure out.

The car currently having total body work and painted. I hate to admit this is the second time. A very unscrupulous company did the work before and left a mess. I had the motor out and had the motor bay painted that is the only part that is not getting repainted.
Dash gages will be removed and installing that new gas gage and sending unit one of the fine folks on here recommended, installed.
Also have all new interior except for the dash. Which i just can't muster up the courage to remove to re apholster.
Last items are replacing the e brake cable and figure out how to install door weatherstripping which ill probably post a message on here for advise. That thing snake's around the top of the door and has me scratching my head
