Default Installing body on Everett Morrison

Hello all,

I have a Gen III EM and the body is out at the paint shop. I wanted to find out from those of you that have done your own build how you lifted the body to set it on the chassis.

In the past I have used brute strength to lift the body. It was 5 people, 2 in the back ( who always complained that it is veryu heavy) and 3 in the front.

Once the body is painted, I dont want to run the risk of scratching the body during the placement of the body.

How have you guys done in the past.

I was thinking possibly 4 people in the back and 3 in the front, and using brute strength. But again, I am worried about the paint and the pressure on the body with the hands.

Any suggestions?
