There are universal body-bracking kits available on the market to hold a body in shape when removing/installing. Various mounting plates, threaded heavy steel rods, turnbuckles, etc. Use is absolutely essential with a convertible, and recommended for all others. Here's a photo of a 1936 Twelve convertible body drop, pictures don't show the full extent of the bracing, it was very considerable. The bracing was of course done before the body was removed.
