Rick, Could you send me a copy of that also. I'm not sure which
one you have but if it mentions the different bushings by location, I'm sure I
can use it.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

John I scanned a copy of the bushing location.
Would you like a copy? I can email it to you. I'm surprised that you
didn't get one with the bushing kit. There are
specific locations for particular bushings.

Ah
yes, the steering. Forgot about that. I guess I could separate it at
the
rag joint.
Interesting to know that it is light enough for two
guys to lift. Did you
have the interior out?
I need to have some
welding done on the left frame rail right at the rear
body mount
location, and also on the body mount tower on the front left
corner. I
really don't want to put this car back together with rot problems
at 2
body mount locations.

Re: [Chevelle-list] off-frame
John,
The last time I did it,
we had three guys including me. With the front end
clip removed, I made
two stacks of cement blocks just behind the firewall,
one on either side
of the car, then had the two guys lift the front of the
body high enough
for me to put an 8 ft long piece of 4x4 across under the
body
on top of the two stacks of blocks. I then repeated the process on
the
back side of the body. After that, I just rolled the chassis forward
out of
the way.
The steering column, wiring harness, linkages,
etc. will have to be cleared
out of the way first.

Hi
guys,
Anybody know what the procedure is for lifting the body off the
frame? I
just want to lift it high enough to swap out the body mounts and
get a
welder into a couple of places, and paint it with Corroseal and
some kind of
top coat. The engine, transmission, driveshaft, fuel tank,
and exhaust are
all out, and the whole nose is off. What else would I
need to take out or
disconnect aside from the body mounts? Also, is there
a chart anywhere that
shows the locations of the body mounts in a 1970
Malibu coupe?
If anybody knows of a good deal on a solid frame that I
wouldn't have to pay
a fortune to transport (i.e. not far from southern
NJ), I'd consider that
too.
Thanks,
John
Nasta
