| 2 ways are easy.
If u have a lift and a garage. If u have someone else do it for you.
Other than that, it's a pain in the ass | |

| I diddnt sandblast mine, I wire wheeled it and threw about 5 cans of undercoat on it, but I'm happy and its a heck of a lot better than it was. | |

| But seriously.I always hate when someone asked a legit question and all they get is a bunch of wise ass answers. Guilty I was actually on my way to work when i replied earlier.I'm hopefully getting mine on the road soon and been kinda busy. When i've got some time i'll post up some of the crap i learned taking mine apart. | |

| From what I remember there are about 8 bolts holding the body to the frame. | |

| 12 to be exact. You may want to research availabilty of body mounts before pulling the body. I have a pair of ss mounts leftover.I'd have to check to be sure exactly which ones they are. You should be able to reuse some of them.#1,2 and 6 are the biggest problem areas. Here's a really good thread from the big forum. http://www.impalassforum.com/vBulletin/showthread.php?t=228460 | |

Haha. Thanks man. It's a hell of a lot better than the various shades of brown it was before. Not to mention still completely solid underneath. I figure even if I have to go back and touch it up here and there in a year or so, its better than having to replace parts of the frame, or the whole dam car. | |
