body removal

Oct 10, 2005 3 Replies

I was wondering if it is safe/practical to remove the whole fibergalss body(tub/fenders/hood/grill) as one piece? I don't have access to a lift, but I do have a tractor, so weight really is not an issue. I just ask as I have never seen this done before, always seen the front clip seperated first. I just want to disconnect the bare minimum of wires.


aGraham did pass the time by typing:

Think of it this way, how much of a pain would it be to repair a cracked fiberglass body if the lift doesn't spread the load evenly.

The front clip is weak where it attaches to the tub and could kink there if the wind or something caught it or just from swinging maybe.
