Just want to make sure I can keep this stuff lined up when I start the dismantle process over the winter for rust repair.

Keeping the top bolted down is basically the 'easiest' way of making sure things stay put but it's not the 'only' way to get it done accurately.

Having the correct measurements and a couple of strategically placed supports are all you really need.

Look at the skillz your building.
