I'd be happy to be able to work on the front brakes without sitting on the base of my drill press! I should have bought the house with the 3+ car garage. Granted, the house was crappy and the neigborhood not as nice and the schools terrible, but that was a GREAT garage.

Guys,

I have also done this the low-tech way of using my engine lift and two buddies to steer the body as we lowered it down onto a frame. Just takes time and good communication. We hooked the chain to the rear eat belt mounts (the outside ones) and to eyelets in the front floor board body mount holes. Getting eyelet out can be some work once the body is on but it is not bad.

That's what I did to remove body from frame--with just myself and my girlfried there to get it done. That was an adventure.
With the nicely painted body (when it eventually goes back together), I will be much more careful and have considerably more help on hand.
