Therouj...select SEARCH from the top menu of the Forum.
The first block, enter: body removal.
The second block,(author) enter: steveg
Scoll down until you can click on the SEARCH button
It should be the third entry given with the title: body removal. Sometimes the Search feature does work well. |

I've taken the body off #77. It's not the most fun I've ever had, so I hope you have a really good reason, other than curiosty. Mine was rusted out outrigger supports that had to be replaced. It turned into 2 completely new rolling frames, a full set of body molds, and the development of blueprints. Oh, I did get the original outrigger supports fixed too.
Once you get the whole thing apart, you just find a shopping list of items to replace or update. The actual task can be approached in many different ways. The only task that might be considered "tricky" is keeping the chassis balanced while slipping the body off. With a well placed engine hoist and a couple of helpers it's probably a 4 to 8 hour job. Like anything else, taking it apart is the easy part. Remembering how it goes back together is the real challenge.
When you get into it and need some questions answered, give me a call.
Bob
