Andrew,
I missed one of the hydraulic lines from the firewall to the frame.
Straightened it out a bit before I caught it.
Naturally, you removed all the wiring and harnesses that run into the body from
the frame.
The body doesn't weigh that much. I'm a small guy and I was able to lift either
end while my daughter inserted 2x4 rails underneath on supports, and I still had
the windshield in place. 4 guys can lift it easy.

One item is the emergency brake handle and cable system mounted to the body
underside. It carries on to the frame and rear axle too. I don't know why
I missed it. Larry.

Subject: Recommendations for pulling it off
Hello All,
Sometime during the next month or so, I am going to pull the body off of the
frame on my 67 2000. At this point in the game, I have the interior out of
the car and the chrome removed. There are some minor things to to take care
of before I will be ready to lift the body off of the frame. As usual, I am
looking to the list and especially those who have gone before me to give me
some advice. So here are my questions:
Roman Rist thought it would be a good idea to leave the doors on until the
body gets to the shop. Said it would keep the body from flexing. Should I
leave them on?
Besides the obligatory 14 bolts, what other connections do I need to look
for?
It seems to me that it will take four guys to lift the body off the car.
What does the body weigh?
Thanks for any help you can give me,
Andrew Murphy
