    Advice on body lifting

    I need some advice on lifting the body of my 68 coupe

    off the frame. This is my first Corvette and the first

    time I will have EVER attempted to lift the body off of

    anything. Any sage advice out there on nice and or easy

    ways to do this? I am considering building a frame work

    in my garage as a lifting platform, and using come-alongs

    as the lifting source(s). What do you guys think?

    Re: Advice on body lifting

    If you check the archives, you will find a ton of information and differing opinions about the best ways to do a Body lift. I used the buddy method with great results. Just had seven friends come over (on lunch break no less) and lift the body onto the waiting body stand built out of lumber. I used the Noland Adams checklist/Workbook and video to be sure I had everything disconnected then used two floor jacks, one on each side under the birdcage to gently lift the body and make sure it was clear of the frame. This method is Low tech and a great reason to get a bunch of pals over for pizza after the grueling 5 minutes of work we did!! Good luck Shane

      Thanks for the advice Shane. I will check into the Noland Adams checklist and video. I was concerned that I was going to have to build some kind of lifting contraption but the "buddy" lift sounds even better.

      Thanks
