Default Structural sheet metal

I'm starting the body work on the trackick this week, and i was just wondering if anyone knows if there are any structural areas in the body?

What do you mean by 'structural areas in the body?'

Well, it pretty much describes itself, but for instance, but most common usage would be on a unibody car, as in if i were to cut out a piece of the car, it would sacrifice the structure of the vehicle. I know the tracks have frames, but they are also convertable-ish, so i didn't want to hack up the vehicle and then once i get it all back together and down the road it breaks in on itself.

Trackers are perimeter frame. I don't know what you're going to do but if it involves grafting rear 1/4 panels or a clip and you use I Car or similar processes such as backing strips w/ plug welds the car will hold together like any other. I just posted some pictures of a rocker panel downward pull I did recently in event you are about to section one.
