If there were to be any shift in weight they could easily collapse. If you use blocks make sure you put the wholes up and not sideways! Sorry to use your pick as an example Dave.   JD P.S Great looking rides you have there! ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Benjamin To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 12:49 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] body off I should have some pictures up on my web site Wed or Thur of pulling my frame.

However, my hot rod buddy built his own wooden device that still fits and can let me get the frame up with a chain hoist. I can send you pics if he don't mind.   You sure you can't get any help? These Chevelle guys are the best guys in the world and I have had more help than I expected. The work is more fun, goes easier with two brains solving problems, and it goes faster as well. I also like to have good oldies playing on the garage radio to keep me motivated :) Works well!    Where do you live at? Do you have an ice chest you can put beer in? Some of these guys work for beer :)   I am going to set mine back down on the frame after I am sure all is clear and tow it to where I need to go on my new tow dolly. Just bought a used one, two years old, heavy duty, new tires ..for $500.   Acid dipped and e-coated huh? Nice ....but not cheap! My budget limits me to sand blasting and primer. Trying to talk the wife into letting me use chemical stripper at home to save money....but got a veto. :(                                             Steve   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Richard Milkiewicz Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 11:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
