Hello! I am removing the body off the frame on a 1964 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88. I have a full rotary lift and I will be setting the body onto a trailer while the frame is being worked on.
I have disconnected:
-5 body mounts on each side of the car
-steering gear
-Master Cylinder
-Fuel Line
-Speedo
-front bumper
-trans cooler lines
I don't believe as of right now I am missing anything to disconnect other than I'm not sure how the gas tank float works or where it disconnects.
When I lift the car do I lift from each corner where lift points would be but on the body? Like on the standard behind the front wheels and in front of the rears? I am unsure where I lift from to support the body
You will probably have to remove the rear bumper also .
The radiator support must be un bolted from the chassis , also all hoses and wires that go to the engine .
The body should be lifted under the rocker panels .
I used a 2X4 and slit it about 1/8 in wide and 3/4 deep so the slit accepted the rocker pinchweld .
Here's a pic of
the body mount locations and a couple of pics of my '63 Dynamic going back together
