Default Re: Lifting a 1932 Coupe body of the chassis...

.

Marshall .....This the easiest way that I have ever seen (other than the "Four-Guy" method) to raise/move a Ford closed car body from a frame. I've shown two pics so that you see the simple contraption to build using a 4 X 4 post for your cherry picker, and the second pic to show rough placement in body, padded and with doors open. EASILY controllable with two guys.










I think that with both doors open at 90º (weight forward) on a coupe, and with the beam placed at rear of door-opening, it'll probably balance pretty well, fore/aft. DD
