Carl,
When I put the body on my 4 a few years back the carbs were off and that was
all. I am guessing your front apron will also be off as well as the front
wings. I did the 4 all by myself using a chain fall connected by ropes from
the front hood hinges and in the rear by the rear fender bolt holes.
I first dropped the rear. Set it in place with a few screw drivers and then
lowered the front. Had it all bolted down by noon on a Saturday morning.
I hope my current 6 project will go as smooth

Sure.

I made sure the throttle linkage was installed as there is not much room with
the engine there.
One other thing, make sure you have all the body pads installed on the frame.
Use some glue or contact cement.

The 4's full drive train was installed, engine running and exhaust completely
installed.etc. Removed carbs only before lowering body.
