IML: '66 Coupe frame/body separation

["David Whitney" <david.whitney@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, folks --

I am preparing to get the surface rust off the Flying Penguin's frame, and
I want to completely separate it from the body in order to do this.  I have
read the applicable info on the OIC site and read the FSM.  Engine is
already out, and I will likely take the transmission out, too, before I do
this.

While the FSM does address in detail where to support the bodies of lesser
Mopars to separate them from the frame, it does not give any detail
whatsoever on how to do this with an Imperial.  The web page sounds quite
confident that the structure can be supported but gives no clue where the
supporting points are.

Where do I support the body so I can roll the frame out from underneath?
Suspended from above like in a sling or held aloft from below on stands?

Obviously this would be a good time to clean and touch up the underside of
the body as well as overhauling the suspension and the rear end.  Anything
else that should be done with the frame off because it's a bear to do with
the frame on?

Thanks,

David
