A concrete block can kill you.
This, I had to glance away a bit
Much better ways for cribbing. I will qualify myself first by saying I have never lifted a model a body, but I have done many structural repairs to buildings and their foundations that weighed a bit more.
It certainly is easy enough to accomplish the task on hand with the right materials (cribbing) and time. If you have a shop that would be willing to separate the two for you at a reasonable cost, that may be worth your while. i.e., you pay them $200 for an hours work (lift use and a bit of manpower) in my parts I can get a one way ride on a rollback for $75, maybe tell them what your doing and get a discount, so for $300 or so you have the body apart, picked up and delivered back to your shop. All in one day. Or, you could fool around with things for a week and maybe wrench your back not to mention the worry to the nerves.
