Default 40 floorboards

The body of my 40 sedan is off frame and on a dolly. I need to replace/repair the drivers side floorboard and the trunk floor. I'm wondering if I should do this while off frame or wait until I get it back on the frame. Any advice appreciated.

Alignment will suffer if you don't have it installed on the frame before cutting away the floors.

I too would wait until you can place it back on the frame if the repairs are substantial.
