Hi Dave,
I have used 1/2" electrical conduit for this purpose.  Easy to manipulate and inexpensive.  If you have a welder, you can just tack weld to the door openings and perhaps a side to side diagonal support as well.  If a welder is not available, the conduit ends can be pinched/flattened and a hole drilled for a bolt/screw to hold it in place.  You can connect to the upper hinge and convertible top bows attachment locations.

Does anyone have a set of door reinforcers I can buy/borrow when I take the body off the frame (with the doors already removed)?

I am getting ready to remove the body and need to reinforce the doorways so the body doesn’t fold in.
