Using a closed car frame for an open car, will you have to beef up the frame for body flexing?

Will you have something between the frame and the body?
Some kind of rubber or steel body mounts?

The 1955 convertibles had a steel shim, all of the other closed cars used a rubber with a steel core. The convertible also had extra bracing on the frame, and a thick inner rocker on the steel body.
