Looking to find out what weight requirements I need to meet to suspend the body overhead. I have a few ideas for hoisting and would like to know how much the bare body weighs. Anybody?

I would guess no more than 50lbs. it's akward so I've never lifted more than 1 side but it's not heavy at all.
I bought one of those garage ceiling 4' square storage platforms that crank up and down. I use an 18V dewalt drill to crank it with and I can install and remove the body
by myself in about 1 minute. The body gets stored hanging on that rig when I don't need it in place for that part of the build. Well worth the $200 bucks and still useful
for storage when the 33 is done. This is the type I found at Sears outlet.
