The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Removing the entire side of a 30 coupe

Honestly, I have no issues with pulling the quarter panel(s), as I have pulled Corvette bodies, 57 Chevy bodies, and others that were far worse in similar ways. MY original question was to find the easiest and best way to remove them, considering I have never done it before and would like to save myself some of the experimental pains of trial and error. Between my age and arthritis, the logistics of welding and metal finishing the repairs would be in my best interest if I was working on the panels,

while supported by horses , or hanging them from the ceiling .
For me, most hammer & dolly work is best accomplished when it's easily accessible from either side, top or bottom.
