Pulling 55 Convertible Body - 03/04/03 01:16 AM
I'm in the process of pulling a 55 Belair Convertible off it's frame for a restoration. While I've done many Corvettes this car seems to offer some different problems, such as size and weight. I currently have the car completly striped of all parts and started to weld up some spreader bars to help hold the door openings. Has anyone out there made a cradle for the bod y and how was the body lifted by hand (requiring many friends and favors) or by a lifting devise? Are there any books that outline convertible body removals? Also this car is a solid rust free no hit car which should help. Thanks for the help, Terry
