C4 Corvettes are a unibody construction. The body will not lift off in one piece, leaving a full frame rolling chassis. 1982 was the last year of the old fashioned, body on frame, Corvette.

Take it to a professional body shop. They know where to look for previous body and frame repairs.
you bring it to a mechanic and let him take a look you lazy guy
remove the screws on the inside fender well, take out the bolt in the top of the louvered panel, pull panel out slide battery out.
When ws the last time you change it? It might have some rust inside from the hyd. liquid. Take it to the mechanic
there should be about 8 bolts holding the body to the frame.. first remove the front clip then there are 2 body mounts on the firewall, 2 over the rear axle, 2 behind the rear axle and the last 2 at the rear of the frame rails.
how do you take off the shifter on a 1995 6speed corvette
as long as the frame is not bent i have no problems with body repair. just make sure you take it to a legit body shop that has a great reviews.
Find a body shop with someone that is older than 60. Chrysler has not had a frame since the sixty's.
First take the spare tire top and bottom hanger off the frame.....then disconnect the wires and fuel lines going to the sending unit and after that there are 2 bolts on each frame section holding the gas tank on. to get to these bolts it will be alot easier to take the exhaust and move it to the side...after that is done take off the bolts and there you have it...the tank is out and ready for a new one or repair.
Take the throttle body off and spray carb cleaner really good through it. Should do the trick.
to replace it SIMPLY, set body on tall jack stands,keep the motor and trans in the body (not the frame) by using a ratcheting tie down to tie the trans to body, hold the engine up to the body by cherry picker or tie to rafters in garage,take front and rear diffs out,unbolt frame from body,(unhook wires and gas tank,and lines first) and roll frame out on floor jack. then reassymble with new frame. takes me about a day and a half to do one by myself. yes I have done a few. GOOD LUCK
