Lifting Body with Timber in Boot

[Rudders]

Nearly ready to lift the body off (all bolts out and chassis separated from body) and place it on a dolly. Was planning to lift with two engine hoists lifting from under the inner arches in the engine bay (nice and thick fibreglass) and from a plank in the boot as seen elsewhere on the forum.

Now it might just be because I haven't done this before but the fibreglass in the boot area where the plank would go doesn't seem overly thick?

Would anybody like to share any re-assurances / tips ?

Thanks

I did the 4x2 in the boot on mine with no issues, just make sure it is as long as it can be to spread the load

The Tanguero method is under the body just aft of the wheels

I did't like the amount of creaking and flexing I saw when I tried to lift using a timber in the boot so I changed tactic before I did any damage.

Right'o then..... I was wavering before.... now I'll do it this way.

Thanks.
