Installing body on Everett Morrison

[scottj]

The straps will hold, they're what I use. I install eyebolts in the floor at the rear and in the hood latch holes. I pick it up with the engine hoist. I adjust the strap lengths to balance it level. I've done it countless times, always by myself.

I don't think the E-M body would weight 500 lbs. I wish someone would weight one and tell us.

this Hurricane body is light maybe 120 - 140 lbs. You can tell by the picture that nobody is in a strain. We had four guys so we could ease the body onto the frame and not scratch the paint.
two guys can install an unpainted body.

I used a combination of chain hoists and cargo straps to lift my body N.A.F. which is probably a fairly heavy body with all the inner panels glassed in. My body isn't painted yet, but at the points where I hooked the cargo straps I cut some 5/8 heater hose and split it and slid on the body to spread and cushion the load a bit. Then added some additional straps for security and support after it was up. I don't know how to put a picture here but they are in my picture gallery.
