You can get about 8 friends and 24 pack to help...but the beer is after the body is removed..
Why put the frame on top of your 'offices'?

If you are going to lift it that high then you will probably need one of the 4-strap lift kits that attach at the rocker panel and can be used to lift the body with a engine lift, cherry picker or winch unit.

Ive got limited space, on the floor. Im wanting to store the body, until im ready to work on it. Im taking the frame to frame shop. Its twisted a bit. On top of my offices is perfect. Ive just got to figure out how to strap it, to raise it, without messing uo the body more. -Robert

So, you're storing the body, not the frame as you asked? Makes more sense, I guess. Do you have a high enough ceiling to lift with a crane type device and straps? Depending on height, you could maybe get a tall fork lift and lift it from the side. Without seeing where you're putting it, it's kind of hard to say.

If you strip the body complealy and spray down the bird cage you could store the body out side tarped
