  That is a weak area on the fire wall. The factory used large J hooks in the 
opening above the front body mounts.

   

   

One suggestion though, why not pick up the body on the top of the firewall 
where the top fender bolts go

[Chevelle-list] 283 balncer?

[chevelle292wagon dejazzd.com]

I have a 64 with a 283 2 barrel engine.I plan to change over to a small 4 barrel and dual exhaust.I thought it'd be nice to replace the pulley hub with a real balancer.Which one to use?Seems like the balancer for a 283 w/ 4 barrel should work.Any suggestions?ThanksPete

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body off on Wednesday

I left the doors and glass in my 66, I left the doors on because it helps 
strengthen the body from flexing and the glass because I was too lazy to pull 
it out, I got the back glass out ok (of course the one I didn't care about, it 
was pitted real bad because someone years back used a blowtorch to cut out 
speaker holes) and I broke the windshield when I was pulling it out (cutter 
slipped). If you go to replace any major panels such as quarters it needs to be 
back on the frame but rockers and pieces of the floors are ok as long as you 
don't cut the entire floor out. I hope this helps.

Body off on WednesdayI've lifted two 69's with the glass in. Even rotated one 
on my rotisserie several times and had it on the rotisserie for 8 months with 
no glass clacking problems.

  I suggest removing the front wind shield and rear window. I didn't and the

  Folks-

  I have heard both sides of this question - so I send it to the collective for 
some opinions.

  I have my car stripped in order to pull the body off the frame this 
Wednesday.  There is zero interior (aside from the dash), no wiring, firewall 
is stripped, A/C is removed, basically I have a steel shell.  I do, however, 
still have the glass in the car, and the doors mounted.  I do not plan to 
remove the glass - so do I have to remove the doors before I yank the body off 
the frame?  If it makes sense, I will do it.  If it does not matter - they are 
staying on the car.  

  The method used will be an engine hoist (cherry picker) with chains connected 
to the access holes for front body mounts (bottom right and left of firewall), 
and also lifted from the two holes in the trunk that feed the wiring down 
behind the bumper.  Again, chains fed through the wiring holes, through a 2x4 
with 1 ¼" hole, bolted through (like the guy on 72chevelle.com).  

  Thoughts?

Hey List,

I have a bit of a dilemma. I went to school today and typed up an essay. They 
have the latest and greatest edition of Microsoft Word there, and I cant open 
it at home. Instead of a .doc file, its a .docx file. I was wondering if you 
anybody had it, and if they could open it and save it as a .doc file, or maybe 
into notepad so I could get it. Thanks for your help! You can just contact me

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body off on Wednesday

Body off on WednesdayIf they doors do not NEED to come off, then leave them on, 
makes fitting and adjusting easier once it is back on the frame.  One 
suggestion though, whynot pick up the body on the top of the firewall where the 
top fender bolts go?  It would be a tad easier to just put a bolt in the chain 
there instead of screwing around fishing it through the body mount hole and 
messing around with a bolt AND a nut.  
Another FYI, if you are doing sheetmetal work, might I suggest you do it or 
have it done before pulling the body off the frame.  I learned the hard way why 
not to do it while it's off the frame.
