Tudor body weight? anyone know what it is?

[gypsycandle]

I'm thinking of removing the body to sand blast the frame. The seats and the gas tank are out now. I have no garage (in Florida) and would probably have to fix a block and tackle in the tree...hahah Any thoughts?
thanks

With the steering column out and the shift tower off the trans if its still in the car get 4 or 5 guys and walk it back off the chassis and set it on some saw horses. Thats how I did mine.

Four guys WEARING GLOVES did mine easily.

Lift straight up and have the OL roll the chassis out from under
I lift one side by myself

Never done a Model A, but me and the boy easily lifted the body off a Jeep CJ5. Removed a Suzuki Samurai body myself by lifting it up a little at a time on each side and then rolling the chassis out from under.

I did mine a few years back alone. Took off the fenders, splash aprons, steering column, had engine and tranny out. I took all the body bolts out and raised it up with a few pry tools and blocked it up with wood. I ran two 2 X 4's lengthwise on the frame and just drug it back until the rear wanted to tip down, put a piano dolly to catch it and kept pushing. When I got real close to off the frame I set another furniture dolly on the floor and picked the front off the frame and set it on the other dolly. Wheeled the body out to the patio and took it apart out there. I did the reverse to remount it. No one else involved and it wasn't difficult.
