Suggestions on Body Removal

I want to separate the body from the chassis on my NAF car so that I can have the chassis powdercoated. I have removed the various bolts that serve double duty as body/seatbelt anchors and other various bolts that attach the body to the frame. My question is how have you that have done this actually removed the body? Invite some friends and carefully station each at a fenderwell and lift or is there a more refined method? I will remove the hood, doors, decklid to lighten it and then set it on some plastic milk crrates. Am I on the right track? The body does not appear to be bonded/glued to the chassis. Your suggestions are appreciated.

Rick, I just put my body on using 4 eyebolts with a cable attached..Use an engine hoist and you will be amazed at how easy it is .....I have taken my body on/off three times using this method and if the body needs to come off again I will use the hoist again....jason
