I spent the remainder of the day removing the bolts that connect the body to the frame. There are a total of fourteen bolts located in seven spots (one on each side of the car). I began at the front of the car and worked my way back. First I sprayed each bolt with some Liquid Wrench and allowed it to soak in. I had little trouble removing the bolts and only a couple were rusted.
The first pair of bolts was located at the front of the car, just behind where the grill sits and just below where the hood hinges are located. I removed these using a 3/4" socket.
The next bolts were located in the engine bay, about midway back. I used a 9/16" socket to remove these.
Then on the interior there was a pair of bolts just behind the firewall on the floor. These were slightly rusted so I ended up using a crescent wrench when the 9/16" socket seemed to be slipping.
Also on the interior there were two more pairs of bolts; a couple located just where the seats go and a pair back on the shelf area by the rear wheel wells. I removed all four of these using a 9/16" socket.
Just behind the rear wheels there were bolts through the fender into the frame. I used a 3/4" socket on the nut and a 3/4" wrench to hold the bolt head from spinning when I removed these bolts.
Finally there was a pair of bolts located in the trunk. I used a 5/8" socket to remove these. Below right is a shot of all of the bolts that held the body to the frame.
With all of the components that mechanically hold the body to the frame removed, I took several pictures of the body still mounted on the frame. Just a couple of more things to do before the body will be liberated.
