I don't know what generation my EM body is (circa 1995), but I have had it off and on the frame. I lifted it using a strap and pulley system after I secured the firewall to the wall behind the seats using long threaded rods. After I had the body painted, I had six friends come over for the body lift. The seventh person (me) directed the action and rolled the chassis under the body that was being held up by my friends. Given the weight of the body and the time it took to line everything up right, I was glad I had six lifters. BTW, I bought six pairs of cheap cotton work gloves to protect the body from jewelry scratches and to protect the men's hands from raw fiberglass edges.
