I have a Gen IV body/kit. EM says the body weighs about 450 per the assembly manual. Mine came with the hood, trunk lid, and doors hung already with associated hardware. I showed 480 lbs. It is a very stout body, the fiberglass quality and seams are head and shoulders above some other manufacturers I've seen. For the initial install of the body I intend to use my engine hoist with adjustable straps to installed eyebolts with a few friends to help guide it and set it in place. Once the car is sorted out, it'll go to the painter. I'll take his advice on body removal and handling once it's painted; it's his deal once it's there at the shop, that's why he gets the big bucks...
