Marco,

In support of your reply, I was told by the last (20) year owner of my 1930 Town Sedan that the body was never lifted -- all (4) doors remain in perfect alignment as well as the hood -- the pads are as you described, are reinforced rubber.

Appears if one is not extremely careful in attempting body removal, these thin skin bodies with very little longitudunal front to back bracing can be disfigured in one very simple single minute vertical movement.

Word of caution: Improper planned body lifting can be thought of as being very similar to work executed by improper planned jack-leg house movers -- none of the house doors & house windows open & close correctly afterwards; & many of the walls & ceilings are over-stressed into crack failure caused by differential lifting forces.
