Jason,
I rolled the '72 body all over the driveway, on it's side, on the firewall,
on it's back, every which way. Before you remove it from the frame, take the
doors off and substitute a brace across the door opening, I used 2x2's. I
used a barrel dolly and some 2x4's to rest the body on while rolling it from
the garage to the driveway. It is light enough for one person to maneuver
when off the frame, It requires two or three people to lift off the frame.
Good luck.
