Finally got the body off the frame but because of the levelness of the ground and such here is how it sits. any suggestions on how to move the body to the center of the shed more? Oh yea this is a 1 person job also, so any ideas would have to not include another person heh. Thanks.
Well...I'd probably lay a piece of plywood down at the front of the body in the middle of the car ("middle" meaning side to side). Then, I'd take my floor jack and jack in the center of that front horizontal piece of wood; swing it to the right (towards the drivers side) and set it back down. Repeat until the front of the car is where you want it. Move everything to the rear and do it back there until the rear is where you want it... :Smarty: Can you tell I've done this before? :laugh: I had a similar setup when I had the body off my Chevelle. The only difference was that it was in a 30x40 barn, with a cement floor. The lesson I learned there was that the body came off pretty easily but lining it back up to put it back together was a bear. What I would do differently (if I was doing it again) is set the chassis on my car skates so that I could slip it side-to-side to get everything to line back up. Also - if you have some bare wheels (with no tires on them) you might be able to use those to move the chassis fore/aft and then you wouldn't have to have the body so high. I installed them just on the rear and left the tire/wheel assemblies on the front. Good luck -
PS: The strength of concrete blocks is to stack them with the holes vertical like you were building with them. Also put stacks perpendicular to each other for maximum stability. I work alone too.
