Hi all,
I plan on removing the body off the frame of a 1986 MC SS and then rolling the frame out as the current frame has been tweaked in the front. I do have a replacement frame. The front floors are pretty bad so i cant really lift it from the floor. My plan is to run a seat belt through the front body mount supports and use a engine hoist to then get a 4x4 across the body on the pinch body pinch welds so it extends say 6" or so. I did get it up enough to put a small 4x4 in place of the rubber bushings. Do you think this is a safe point to lift from and are the pinch welds strong enough to support the body by 4x4's across and on stacked cinder blocks?
Also, would putting two cut to size 4x4's on the gas tank mounting points and the one across be a safe point to lift the rear? Thanks in advance as I just want to be safe in regards to myself and the body.
