Re: [Chevelle-List] body off

[Dave Benjamin]

I get everything free stearing, fuel and brake lines,body mounts etc. Then I jackcar up slowly one level at a time. First I use 6 by 6 or equivalent beams that go across frame and stick out about a foot on one side( the side you will pull the frame out on). Jack one end of the car up at a time and slide beam between the body and the frame. Then you keep lifting and blocking until you clear the frame. I pull mine out the side and reposition the stands with a floor to get the frame out and past the blocking. DO IT SLOW AND HAVE  KNOW QUESTIONS ABOUT THE BEAMS OR THE STANDS (BLOCKS) BIGGER IS BETTER !!!!!!!!!   I USED CEMENT BLOCKS BEFORE BUT NOT A GOOD IDEA OR HAVE YOUR WEBS THE RIGHT WAY!!!!!!   This week I am pulling the frame out from under the 69 Chevelle and will post pictures on my web site to give you a better idea if it would be of any help.   Dave Ingersoll,Ontario My web site:   http://members.tripod.com/benj30/ ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Milkiewicz To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 11:44 AM Subject: [Chevelle-List] body off I have decided to pull the body off my '66 and have it acid dipped and e-coated. I had my dash done and it's absolutely beautiful. My problem is I have no one to help me pull it off. My ceiling is low and is dry walled. So no chain fall or "A" frame. Has anyone done this without help? How did you do it? Any special problems I should be aware of? Once it's off I'll mount it to a dolly and have the frame blasted. Any help will be appreciated.
