I have a 1968 charger that needs full front floor plan replacement,  cross member, trunk floor, and possibly rear frame rails and inner rockers. I know I need to build a jig to support the car and make sure nothing move a out of alignment.

Does anyone have any references or input on fabricating this type of structure, gage tubing to use, etc? I'm kinda at a sticking point over this. I'm a good welder, pipewelder by trade. I just need pointed in the right direction by someone with a lot more experience than myself.
