Daniel,
I'm not assuming you lack experience at this, but a little advice shouldn't hurt anything. When I lifted the one-piece body off my Everett-Morrison car, I was concerned that the weak point would be where the two door openings are located. I was worried that the car might buckle there. So I ran two threaded rods (one on either side) from the firewall to the bulkhead behind the seats. I put large washers and nuts on both sides of the rods where they went through the fiberglass. I estimate my body weighed 300-400 pounds and I had no trouble lifting it with straps.
