Default 62 project

I've been reading some threads on removing the body on a 62 corvette and I have some questions would appreciate any comments or help. I have decided to remove the body and I think the seat belt anchor will work but the 2" straps don't fit the brackets also is that the only place I need to lift from as long as I can balance the body. My email is dfloistad@att. net Thanks again for any help.

I used straps to the outer seat belt mounts and one each to the bottom door hinge holes and another to the radiator support just to keep the weight off. With the ratchet straps at the for locations I can easily adjust as needed to level the body.

after un bolting the body I lifted it by hand and slid 2 4X4's under the body. I got three friends and the four of us pulled it using the 4x4's.
