If the door tread section is still there and 100% sound you may be OK but even if it is, personally I would tack a brace just above it across the openning just to be on the safe side. The door tread alone isn't that strong.

I think this is one of those questions that if you have to ask, then you already know the answer *smiley*

I would always aire on the side of caustion and put the bracing in. Better to spend a bit more time now than risk messing your shell up.

weld some box section to the seam where the rubber door seal attaches. About 6" above where you are working so that you have room to get your tools near your work.
