Not Ranked
Tne body for an NAF is pretty heavy, given that the firewall, trunk and floorboards anre all integral. One of my concerns was the body flexing through the door area. I fabricated some bars out of 1" square tubing with some mounting plates welded to them that I anchored at the area where the lock & hinge mechanisms mounted. The bars were in compression when the body was lifted. It helped a lot, 5 or 6 guys can easily & safely place the body on the frame, with you doing the spotting. A little Pizza & Beer as an incentive helped too.
