REMOVAL AND CARE OF
PARTS
With most damaged bodies, there are parts that
have to be removed to facilitate the repair of the
damaged sections. These parts, whether they are
damaged or not, should be kept in some suitable
container or storage bin to prevent further damage
and eliminate the possibility of parts becoming lost.
Where severe body damage is encountered, it is
best to remove body trim parts, all of which are
easily removed, and store them in a clean, dry
place. By approaching the actual repair job in this
manner, more freedom and better visibility during
the repair operation is possible. Considerable time.
and patience, too, is thus saved in the aligning
operation and in the effective placing of body jacks.
With the body trim parts safely stored out of the
way, the possibility of burning, tearing, or soiling
of upholstered parts is negligible.
