Removing a 30 Roadster Body.
I've checked out the archieves till I am blue in the face . I have the Roadster body 1 foot in the air and would like to know the easiest next step. Is it easier to break down the light switch and pull the steering wheel or detach the whole column at the frame and pull whole column AND wheel intact ?. Column is free from the tank.

Re: Removing a 30 Roadster Body.
Take the whole column out you could take the wheel off bit it will be much easier with the whole thing off.

I CAN GO 20 FEET IN THE air but the steering wheel will not allow.

Re: Removing a 30 Roadster Body.
Open top car bodies seem like they would be something to be really careful about how you lifted it off the frame. Never did one myself, only helped with a Coupe years ago.
Sedans and Coupes have to be a lot more rigid than a Roadster or Phaeton, I'm just sayin'. No harm in asking for help better than screwing it up. I'd be the one to booger up the sills I can guarantee THAT Brent, any insight here you have a lot of experience with all body types............ |

Re: Removing a 30 Roadster Body.
If it can be done with a closed car, it should be able to be done with a roadster.
