I made up a wooden frame to support mine. It comprised of 6 pieces of 3" X 3" or thereabouts. There were 2 long pieces that sat roughly where the main chassis rails sit, 4 posts (1 at each corner) to support the step on the inner wings at the front and the trunk floor at the rear and 2 cross pieces to hold it all together. I then attached a caster on the bottom of each post so that I could move it around. It was all screwed together so that it could be easily dismantled and stored ready for the next time it was neaded.
As for lifting the body off, one person at each wheel arch is fine and won't cause any damage to the body. Keep the doors closed until you have the body sitting on the support frame.
I'll try to draw a picture and post the image in my gallery if it would help.
