Tom and Brian,
Thank you both for your advise. All went well. I had to remove several of the body bolts to get the body loose from the frame. After that I used a floor jack to break the body loose from the frame. After that 6 of my friends lifted the body over. We moved it just about a 1/4". That is plenty. I feel if this car has been this way for 45 years it doesn't need to be perfect, just ok.
I am going to retorque the body bolts this weekend. When I do I will be using LOCKTIGHT on the threads.
What torque should be used on the bolts?
I thought 40-50 would be ok?
Thanks again.
Tom Wright :D
