Rob you are goin to spend a LOT of time and $$$$ you are never goin to get back soooo if ya still want to do this just disconnect the body bolts , fuel lines , brake lines etc etc .. then lift body off the frame .. then the fun begins

ROBK- Go for the restore and hold on to your car for awhile. My 85 insured for alot more than you would believe. These cars are getting very rare. If you need help I have the 85 body and engine manuals. I will gladly send any info you need. Brad

You have more of a job in front of you than you think you do, but at anyrate, i love to see frame off restos, and applaud the guys with the patience to do it. ( I do, but not the time or money , if i did, id buy a hot air, and do a frame off myself. i would enjoy it.) Good luck, and post lots of pictures.
