First of all, put something like 2 inch wide masking tape on every surrounding area. Go way beyond the area you will be working on, and also put tape on the shell itself in any area that might contact something else.

Generally, deuce shells are held on by fasteners right at the sides of the shell and possibly at the top. You will want to go slow and systematically remove anything that is in your way until you are able to unbolt just the shell itself. Enlist another person or two to help as extra hands can be holding things while someone else unbolts them.

Every car is put together differently, so you just have to keep removing stuff until you get to the point where the shell can be slip up and away from the car. You should not have to remove the radiator. We've had the deuce shell on and off of my Kids T a bunch of times over the past few weeks, and you just have to do it like I outlined above.

Things like towels and rags taped to the frame and suspension help a lot too.
