That hood was a score. I drove from Illinois to Iowa to get mine. The guy gave me 2 for the price of 1. Sold the other one to a military guy and got all my money back. You're doing a great job. Keep up the great videos.
I was thinking about doing this with My 72 C10. I'm also working in a 2 car garage but I was thinking I could do it in segments. Front End, Cab, Bed. You just proved it could be done. Thanks
Thanks for your video I used your method on my 79 El Camino I should have bought two floor jacks I had fun trying to get the jack out from under the rear differential😅 thanks for your help man I appreciate it. That Time lapse was actually short I was going to the driver side passenger side front and rear a million times 🤣
Great video ive watched a few different videos were people use engine lifts n chains but wat u did i think is the simplest n easiest way i have a 67 impala 4 dr ht i want to do this to thanks again u have a new subsciber!
@gemcitywelding7234 cool I plan on pullin my body off the frame and I been so curious on leaving the front clip on because everyone always taking the front apart to do so and I was planing on leaving mine together with the body thanks for the reply im learning alot from your build thanks for sharing
Question for you can I remove my complete body from the frame from bumper-to-bumper just like you did, but I have my motor and transmission still in would I be able to leave that connected to the frame and lift the whole body off the way you did.???
So the easy way to answer that question is this, you would have to lift the body really high in order to clear the top of the engine. In the video, I have the body about 3 feet off the ground. I personally didn’t want to go much higher than that. Because I felt that it would be unsafe. Without a lift.
@@gemcitywelding7234 hey thanks for getting back to me on that so all I Gotta do is undo all the mounting points and any wires connected to the motor and transmission and I’ll be able to lift the whole complete body without having to separate the front body panels from the rest of the car..
@@romeyrome3219 pretty much. Don’t forget steering shaft, heater cables, trans linkage, brake lines, and front and rear bumpers. Best of luck with your project!!
Hello, my wheels are 25th anniversary Lowrider magazine/Daytons. They are 100 spoke. And feature engraving on the hoops. Only 500 sets were produced by Dayton wire wheels. Thanks for watching the channel.
I was trying figure out how to jack up the body on my 63. I hadn't thought about about the frame method you used. Looks like you have solid blocks. Are they cinder blocks filled with concrete? Thanks for sharing.
These blocks are known as “solid core”. Not “hollow” core. I believe most home centers sell the hollow core. Try to find a brick/stone center in your area and purchase some solid core if that’s the route you choose to go. Jackstands would probably work. But.. my body will be like this for awhile. I’m more comfortable with the block method. Best of luck with your project. 👊🏻👊🏻
Please Please Please don't use cinder blocks. They are notorious for cracking. Invest in some 6 ton jack stands from harbor freight $35 for a pair. Safety 1st😎
Couldn’t agree more, but one difference. These are solid core blocks and not hollow core. These blocks hold up catch basins that weight 3x the weight of this body. But, I appreciate you keepin it 💯! 👊🏻👊🏻
Thanks for telling my about your channel now I have more videos to watch instead of working! Hit me up on Facebook if you have any questions I have done a few impala frames as well. Keep up the good work!
thanks for making this video, ive actually watched this 3 times now, and expect to watch it again. I need to do the same to my 64
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. 👊🏻👊🏻

The struggle of doing it in a small garage! Great job man!
Thank you bro 👊🏻👊🏻
Good stuff man. Im rebuilding a 62 impala. Floor pans I used my cherry picker to lift the body. Same here family man doing it on my own !!
Hell ya! Cool man. Thanks 👊🏻👊🏻

God bless Brother....Alot of work been there done that stay positive
🙌🏻
Right on man. I’m in the same boat. 🤙🏼
Great job bro, God bless you!
Like your channel dude!
Thanks bro 👊🏻
I’d probably it those blocks directly under the body once the frame is out of the way just to help the load on the 4x4s but that’s an excellent idea
Great video
Good job homie. 🇲🇽👏🏼💪🏽👍🏼🙏🏼
Thank you 👊🏻👊🏻🙌🏻
Good progress It is a lot of work to do by yourself!

Nope. Everything went perfect.

How long was it on blocks? Would it damage anything if it stays like that for long?
It was on blocks roughly for about 9 months. As far as I can tell, It didn’t hurt anything in anyway. Everything lined up just fine.
Do you recommend removing all bolts from frame first before I start lifting cuz I’m bout to pull out my frame today
I do if you have the ability to remove them. If they are broken, then proceed because at that point you really don’t have a choice. Best of luck bro!
Did you go with 72 or 100 spoke wheels?

Did you have to drop the gas tank
Hello, I did not. I only disconnected the fuel line and sending unit wire. Hope that helps. Take care.
Roadster Shop 1958-64 Impala Chassis
Great product, but not the look I’m after. Thanks though.
@@gemcitywelding7234 just thought you might want something stronger you both have cool video
Iam looking to do the same thing on my 62 impala.take the frame off the body.

I wouldn’t trust my life under a harbor freight jackstand . Things are horrible
Your 4x4's are starting to Bow under the weight of the chassis 🤔 ...Safety first !
Good luck finding onother one if you end up selling it.
What’s that?
Do you think a lowrider club will build you a lowrider if you payed them?
