Body lift sling
I made a body lift "sling" using 4 2x4s that form an "H" with the horizontal part of the "H" using 2 of the 2x4s spaced 1-1/2" apart. This runs down the center of the car with the vertical "H" members resting on top of and fastened to the double 2x4s. Short pieces then extend down at each wheel opening and has a piece fitted to the wheel opening contour. I use an engine hoist to pick the whole thing up. It's a one man operation. Please note that my car still has the door webs in place. You may have to reinforce the body so it doesn't bend in the middle.
