Title: Tips taking body apart
Post by: batman1usa on March 25, 2009, 12:12:35 PM
  :-\

Is there any particular bracing that should be added before cutting the floor (complete) out?

How do you get the fenders off to replace the inner fender?

After removing floor is there anything that should be replaced before rewelding the floor in?  I don't want to get to far ahead of myself and replace something then have to cut it to replace something I should have replaced whilest it was out.

If you are planning to cut the entire floor out, its a good idea to have some cross bracing in place to keep it from twisting/shifting out of proper alignment.  It would suck to put a whole new floor in and find out your doors suddenly don't fit right.

As far as fenders are concerned.  If you look closely you will see where there are welds.  I drill as many out as possible, then take an air chisel and carefully work my way around till the fender simply falls off.

I posted some more pics in there yesterday to test it out and its working for me. Give it another try, or perhaps clear your cookies which had solved my problem from my personal computer. 

Edit:  I see you got it work.   ;D

I forgot about the clearing cookies deal.  I'll try that next.  I can't seem to get them to load directly from my puter.  I had to load them to photobucket and copy the link.
I'll try the cookies clearing now.
