Help with teardown

I'm reaching out to anyone who is located in or near Flower Mound Texas. I have a c3 '75 that I'm doing a body off resto-mod. I need a couple helpful people to help take the body off of the chassis and put on the body dolly I'm in the process of building. Ive got beer and food to whomever wants to come help. Email me at joecadotte @ gmail or pm me here.

Thank you for your time.

If you don't get any volunteers, you can do it alone with a good engine lift. Just be carful and take your time.

Yes, what he says. I did a solo lift on my '80. The body lifting straps were too long, or should I say my hoist wouldn't raise high enough. I shortened the straps by wrapping the each strap around cut 4" X 4" blocks. No problems.

Engine hoist will do the trick. Lifted mine tonight.

Thanks for the confidence everyone! Wasn't sure about a one man job. Have my engine hoist set up and lifting it to the car dolly tomorrow. If so many of you can do it solo then I can too!
