I am ripping body off frame on 07'. Anyone have a diagram of where the body support points are? I tried the floor boards but they caved in.

Rockers I believe.
Just get a big tractor or loader with some long forks and run them through the windows.1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too. -
Rockers eh? Not a bad idea. I have no access to a tractor. Need to rip the body off in the garage.Comment

Yea, I believe the factory lifted the bodies by the rocker/pinch welds.

Ok thanks. This is actually good because it gives me more room. I didn't even think of using the rockers.Comment

What would work best? A floor jack at each corner, with maybe a 2x4 or 4x4 between the jack and car body?1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM.

I thought about jacking body and frame up, then putting supports on all 4 corners and lowering the frame down until body rests on supports. Then just roll the frame out.Last edited by Mr Bean; 03-22-2014, 08:31 PM.Comment

That should work.
Or not. The rockers are about in line with the wheels.
Denied.

How heavy is a rolling chassis? Any way to maybe jog it around and get it out?1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM.

Good question. I am not sure. The frame by itself could probably be yanked out but with axle and front suspension I bet it has some weight to it. I could probably move it around on a jack or something. The donor car, I don't really care if it gets damaged so I can support it pretty much anywhere just to yank the frame out. It's the good car that I am worried about.Comment
