March 2, 2003
We decided that it was too much of a pain to try to get 6-8 friends to come over and help us remove the body. In addition, we don't really have anywhere to store the body while we work on the frame. So, instead, we decided to use a hoist and a body sling (available through vettefinders for $75). We purchased a 2 ton chain hoist from Harbor Freight and about $60 in 2x6's and about $20 in heavy chain. We built a 12 foot high 6x6 structure that tied into the ceiling. It turned out it provided just enough clearance. We hoisted away and the body mounts broke free easily.
