Update
Body is now completely removed without damage. Getting loose from the bonding compound required a lot of patience and carefully applied heat. A precision putty knife, reshaped and razor edged was used.
Next task is to await the rear panel that fastens to the bumper support (thanks Chris, again), I was sent the wrong one and it was never used by my "friends" when they bonded the body on.
Meanwhile, I am taping ( thanks for the lead on parcel tape) up the inner roof section to make a headliner hard part. Samples of vinyl on the way.
Delayed by the hurricane, it remained just far enough off-shore to cause no damage here.
I am trying some cross laced chrome true wire wheels 15X7 and plan to run with 205/70/15 tires. May have to do a pie cut at the rear. Easier with the body off anyway.
Had the body on and off several times now as my working space is limited. The temperature right now is a problem. 39 degrees C at the moment. Have to perform my 'glassing outdoors.
