Before removing the body I had already removed as much of the original floorpans as possible, as well as the doors, and braced the body in order to retain the strength the floorpans provide.  I had already removed the engine and transmission to make way for the LS engine, and had already removed the heavily scratched windshield to trash it after the local glass shop confirmed the scratches were too deep to polish out.

But as this was otherwise a complete car, removing the body requires also removing everything that’s not, well, the body.  This includes the front clip – the hood, fenders, inner fenders, grille, cowl support, front bumper, etc., as well as the rear bumper.  But we didn’t remove the suspension or wheels just yet.

To lift the body off of the frame we used the two ends of the rotisserie, using each like a forklift, to lift underneath each rocker.  We then setup 2x4s on sawhorses and rested the body on those.  Next we rolled the frame out – that’s why we kept the suspension and wheels on.  At that point, we attached the body to the rotisserie.  And now, the body is easy to move around.  And true to the name, the rotisserie makes it pretty easy to spin the body, giving you access to all sides, and impressing / scaring your neighbors.
