The trouble is that you have to have the suspension on the car. I plan to
replace the sills (assuming that is necessary) with the car mostly
assembled and all running gear and the engine in place, so that stresses
in the body structure will be normal. Then I intend to strip out the body
and do the minor stuff.
I made a rollover frame for my bugeye from 3/4 inch plyood (4 1ftx3ft
strips), 2x4s, and framing brackets. After the body was stripped, my
daughter and I could roll it completely over in minutes without any
trouble. I could do it myself when no help was around.
I plan either to make a rollover frame from 2 engine stands or another
wood frame when I do my Series V. When the body is completely stripped,
it should not be tremendously heavy.
