body off
 
Im removing the body 0n my 67 gto. can i take the body off without the doors and trunk lid then put it on a cart or leave it all on. someone said it would be to much of a stress on the body without the doors. anyone know- can you help me out which is best and correct. thanks

Hardtop or sedan, absolutely not a problem without doors on a cart or rotisserie. A convertible on a cart, supported at each end of the rockers and in the gas tank region, would be fine. I'm assuming this is not a rust bucket/basket case scenario.

i pulled mine off with the doors,windows deck lid full interior.72 lemans though.One thing that helped me was using just 14inch rims with no tires so i didnt have to lift the body really high.

I did my 71 gp without doors, glass and trunk lid.....used the wheels with no tires trick also and it worked very well!

cart allowed me to work on the body, or the frame

No issues with a hardtop.

i have taken the two bolts out from under the firewall-under the door-behind the rear tire and at the rear. i see another one in front of the rear tire. i see a bushing but theres no bolt head to undo. looked inside of car and didnt see a nut. am i missing something here. Ive took out 5 bushing bolts on the drivers side. how many are there on a 67 gto. just wanting to know. Thanks
