Getting the body off the chassis

Post by Blitzkrieg »

Finally the time has arrived to get the Fastback's body off the chassis...

What is the best way to lift the thing off?

Do I need to remove the front beam?

All the bolts are out already...

Can it be done with man power or would I need to get a block and tackle or similar?
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

A bug can be done with 2-4 people...a Type 3 is heavier...atleast 4 people imo.

Front beam is not connected.

Place is on tripods or tires. Not sure where the strongest places are for this on a Type 3.
