Body off frame removal question
Hey guys, I haven’t posted here for what seems like a million years. I have been finishing off another project that I have now finished and are now onto the 1960 corvette resto. I need help if anyone knows what exactly needs unbolting and removing from the body so I can lift the body off the frame or even if someone knows a search I can do since that didn’t help me. Thanks Stewy

On my 61, I believe it is very close to the same, 12 body bolts, 2 at the rear, 2 on the radiator core and 8 inside the frame rails. Is the motor out? Be sure to support the front fenders and nose. I did it with 2 floor jacks and lots of 4x4's. I know it's easier with a lift but that was all I had, and a strong son. Forgot the steering column, and cluster connections, shifter

Yes motor is still in. I know there is part of the
clutch spring that’s mounted to the firewall. That will have to be disassembled, I haven’t really looked yet but does the peddle box have to be looked at ?
