I have seen numerious tech articles including those from Nolan Adams over the past 25 years describing as best they can, the procedure that should be followed to remove and re-install a Corvette body for the restoration process.

NEVER have I even seen anything as complete, precise, and easy to follow, as the article that is found on the following webpage. http://www.corvetterepair.com/tech_tips.htm "

" Corvette Repair Inc. " is one of the East Coasts, premire restoration shops, and have included a complete walk through of the removal/installation process on their website. I guarantee you it is well worth the read.

For those of you who also like something different, the site also includes an assortement of original racers, and "one-off" builds

Enjoy

Anyone have it, or something similar they can send or post?

Thanks in Advance,

The link wont work

RoadKing96

You're right, what the heck was I thinking....Completely forgot.

We start early next year.....OK?

In all seriousness, I'm thinking about trying to put together, or get my hands on some sort of a 'master' plan on the approach, major areas, parts, etc....Sort of like a high level Project Management thingy. I figure, why re-invent the wheel, when one or more here have already done some of this exact stuff.

Bob's post is over five years old, and that page on Kevin's site doesn't exist any more. Can't find their old "tech tips" page at all from the new home page.

BarryK

yep, looks like Kevin completely re-did his shop's website and the "Tech tips" page is gone.
I have Kevin's list as a PDF file but can't post it up until I have permission from Kevin to do so (copyright issues, etc)

If you go to the link posted by firstgear in Post #4, and then put body removal in the search box in the upper right hand corner the page will come up. At least it does for me.

BarryK

nice job, I missed seeing the search box when I went to the site.
The page is there, just "hidden".
Here is the link to the checklist:

Thank's Barry, for redirecting the originl link.

I haven't posted for years, but I still visit once and a while, and think of all you guy's especially at this time of the year when every one ( including most of my friends ) are packing up for the annual pilgramage to the Corvette show in Carlisle.

I recently gave my vender spaces to Al Knoch, who has occupied them, and will continue to do so in the future.

Nice to hear from you Uncle Bob ... Did you ever get that twin turbo deal completed?

Am I missing something? When I did by body off in 2009 I am almost sure I had to remove my rear bumpers and supports?

66jack

I seen that too, maybe you can leave them and just lift the front and hinge at the back, CLAM SHELL...

hokie04

That is a great idea make it like a Funny Car and just be able to hinge back the entire body.
