Default Re: Removing & reinstalling body

I just removed the body on my town sedan. Used six 2X4 Studs and put 3' pieces between them so that every one was moving the same speed. Then with 6 more studs I made a rolling frame. Removed the wheels from an old furniture dolley and screwed them to the bottom of two of the studs. used two studs for the body to set on and Cut 4, one ft pieces for uprights and screwed (Deck Screws) to the Bottom studs with wheels and the other stud for the car to set on. Cut one stud, to the width of the car body, and used some 1X2's for cross braces on the sides and ends. Now the body rolls around easily and you can stand in the center to work on the interior (I have to replace all the interior wood). You don't even have to fasten the body to the top studs unless you want to. The other nice thing is if you don't cut the bottom and top studs they can be reused for another project. Photo's available on request!!
