Thanks for your video I used your method on my 79 El Camino I should have bought two floor jacks I had fun trying to get the jack out from under the rear differential😅 thanks for your help man I appreciate it. That Time lapse was actually short I was going to the driver side passenger side front and rear a million times 🤣
That hood was a score. I drove from Illinois to Iowa to get mine. The guy gave me 2 for the price of 1. Sold the other one to a military guy and got all my money back. You're doing a great job. Keep up the great videos.
ive been at mine for 4-5 years so far. i finally wrapped the frame but i had to do everything you have done i these videos. its hard work but can be done.
I was thinking about doing this with My 72 C10. I'm also working in a 2 car garage but I was thinking I could do it in segments. Front End, Cab, Bed. You just proved it could be done. Thanks
A playlist with all four parts of this video would be an easy addition to the video notes, and probably increase views. Cheers, keep up. The good work. I’m going to try this method with my 64.🎉
Great video ive watched a few different videos were people use engine lifts n chains but wat u did i think is the simplest n easiest way i have a 67 impala 4 dr ht i want to do this to thanks again u have a new subsciber!
I was trying figure out how to jack up the body on my 63. I hadn't thought about about the frame method you used. Looks like you have solid blocks. Are they cinder blocks filled with concrete? Thanks for sharing.
These blocks are known as “solid core”. Not “hollow” core. I believe most home centers sell the hollow core. Try to find a brick/stone center in your area and purchase some solid core if that’s the route you choose to go. Jackstands would probably work. But.. my body will be like this for awhile. I’m more comfortable with the block method. Best of luck with your project. 👊🏻👊🏻
@gemcitywelding7234 cool I plan on pullin my body off the frame and I been so curious on leaving the front clip on because everyone always taking the front apart to do so and I was planing on leaving mine together with the body thanks for the reply im learning alot from your build thanks for sharing
Question for you can I remove my complete body from the frame from bumper-to-bumper just like you did, but I have my motor and transmission still in would I be able to leave that connected to the frame and lift the whole body off the way you did.???
So the easy way to answer that question is this, you would have to lift the body really high in order to clear the top of the engine. In the video, I have the body about 3 feet off the ground. I personally didn’t want to go much higher than that. Because I felt that it would be unsafe. Without a lift.
@@gemcitywelding7234 hey thanks for getting back to me on that so all I Gotta do is undo all the mounting points and any wires connected to the motor and transmission and I’ll be able to lift the whole complete body without having to separate the front body panels from the rest of the car..
@@romeyrome3219 pretty much. Don’t forget steering shaft, heater cables, trans linkage, brake lines, and front and rear bumpers. Best of luck with your project!!
Hello, my wheels are 25th anniversary Lowrider magazine/Daytons. They are 100 spoke. And feature engraving on the hoops. Only 500 sets were produced by Dayton wire wheels. Thanks for watching the channel.
Please Please Please don't use cinder blocks. They are notorious for cracking. Invest in some 6 ton jack stands from harbor freight $35 for a pair. Safety 1st😎
Couldn’t agree more, but one difference. These are solid core blocks and not hollow core. These blocks hold up catch basins that weight 3x the weight of this body. But, I appreciate you keepin it 💯! 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks for telling my about your channel now I have more videos to watch instead of working! Hit me up on Facebook if you have any questions I have done a few impala frames as well. Keep up the good work!
