Need to remove Running boards and splash aprons. Does the body need to be removed? Had to see as one eye has detached retina and needs heads up
Thanks Bob

No, you do not have to remove the body. but you need to unbolt the body and lift each side enough so you can remove the carriage bolts out and slide splash aprons out,

If the body/frame bolts have never been separated, the process may prove to be a "task"..! Some of them may require a helper to assist with a wrench or hold a light a certain way, and some may require more than just a nice set of wrenches.! Patience, a good penetrating spray, light, garage creeper, patience again, Band-Aids for skinned knuckles.!
My '29 Coupe provided a good learning experience.

Good luck.. kb
