Hi Guys, Been reading the posts on frame off restorations and rotisseries. Looking at removing the body off this weekend. Doors are off front clip is off. My question is the rear springs, do i need to remove these first or when I lift the body off what will happen to the springs. Thanks, Keith

You don't have to if you are carful. When you don't remove them ahead of time they just get in the way. also, at times they may push the body in the wrong direction when lifting off the body (depending on how you do it). Take em' off....
