Here is a common problem on a lot of older cars(sedans)
The B pillar/lock pillar cracks from all the stress and vibration of the suicide doors closing along with the fact that they were not reinforced very well in the old days. Both sides are cracked, although someone tried to repair the passenger side some time in years past. This will need to be repaired and the shell will need to be braced before we lift the body off the chassis.
