Andrew,
What are you going to place the body on after you lift it off the frame?  Some
time ago somone on the list described a box made from 2 x 12s and steel caster
wheels. The bottom is 1/4" fiberboard.  No top required.  The body sits on top
of this sturdy open box.  I made one for my 67.5 and it works perfectly.  I'm
too mortified to describe my first effort.  A total failure.  This concept is
sturdy and you can move the body around like a big shopping cart.
