It is now time to lift the body
off of the frame. Our plan is to use two chain hoists suspended
from two very large wooden beams. Raising the body high enough off
of the frame so the frame can be rolled out from underneath it.

If you have
checked out the Reference Material on this site, you may have browse
through the Henry J Service Standards manual posted for you in the
Manuals section. A 1953 Henry J Corsair Deluxe with everything on
it weighs 2445 lbs. Considering the engine, sheet metal and the
interior have all been removed, and that we are only lifting the body -
not the frame - two 3/4 ton chain hoists sharing the load should be more than adequate. |

Careful once again to document all bolts,
shims so you can get them back into their original locations. |

Bill's book describes various
methods of removing the paint for your car. We have opted for the
abrasive blasting method using plastic beads trying to minimize metal
damage. |
|
It is our intent to repair the
dent in the roof at this time. |
| Once
all the paint is gone we will be coating the bottom with POR-15, and the
bare sheet metal will be primed with a rust-resistant etching base
primer. |
