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.
