Default Body Removal

In March I plan to lift the body off my 78 vette to rust prove the suspension and frame. Does anyone have any tidbits of information to prepare me. I know that the body mounts need replace and the brackets attaching to the firberglass body are almost completely rusted gone. Any guidance would be great. I would be a rookie at restoration and a amateur with car repair. (Water pumps, fuel pumps, transmissions, Kframe, etc all non corvettes). I plan to be on here alot twisting my way through this so I look forward to the discussions. Thanks

Phill

This is a great write up. There is also a very good write up pm this forum. Use the search function.

In addition there is a DVD on this but I think the write ups are more usefull.
