Hi Tim,
For what it's worth, I lifted the body of my TR4A from the garage joists. I'm
not sure what the stripped body weighs, but since I could fairly easily lift
each end, I figured no more than 4-500 lbs. And since I can stand on one of
the joists, and I'm a bit north of 200 lbs, it seemed OK to me. I didn't leave
it to hang, I put sawhorses under to support it. I put some big screw eyes
into the joists (one at each end of the car), and used two block and tackles to
raise/lower the body.
