Body off rest.

[Bill K.]

I've taken my 70 bug body off without bracing. I've flipped it upside down to replace the heater channel bottom plates and trucked it to/from paint shops on a pickup. I test fit it on the chassis and it seems straight. If you are replacing the heater channel or have rotten heater channels, then definately brace it. The body is alot lighter when you strip it before lifting. Take everything off and two guys can lift it and put it on standard saw horses. It takes 4 guys and beefy saw horses for the full body. Things are so much easier to work on when the body is off.

Attachments are of inversion to remove heater channel bottoms and of the body on the bed of a long bed pickup supported by side rails over the wheel wells.
