: best way to get body off the frame? 67Chevelleguy Jun 8th, 03, 10:52 PM I am frame-off restoring a 67 SS and I am in the procces of taking the body off. I got all the body bolts out (one broke :mad: ) and my brake lines are off, now it is time to get the body off the frame. Any ideas on how to do it? thanks alot graemlins/beers.gif wes figbash Jun 8th, 03, 11:25 PM Wes, I built a simple wooden frame out of 4 X 6's attached to my garage wall and did the lifting with a 1 1/2 ton come-a-long. I also made a wooden cradle (http://home.flash.net/~tomgr/pic/Chevelle/During/Scraping.jpg), complete with casters, that I bolted to the body. This allowed me to tip it on it's side to scrape and sandblast the underside.

Ed This also worked for me. I used a floor jack to lift the body. 67Chevelleguy Jun 9th, 03, 2:52 PM Thanks alot guys, hopefully the body will be off today and get sandblasted. Do you sandblast, primer, then paint it? Is the paint semi gloss black? thanks wes | ||
