So slowly slowly, the car is coming apart. All that's left on the body is the wiring harnesses, one brake line (both attached to clip I am having trouble drilling out under the car), front sway bar, door locks and trunk lock and a few small parts I'm sure I forgot. Oh yeah, the RHS wing mirror is still attached. The sills are toast, I can put my hand through the front of them, but the rest of the body, even the floors look to be not too bad. Started stripping the body, but may consider getting the body soda blasted becuase I am not looking forward to stripping the bottom and other areas that are tight, especially without a rotisserie. Anybody have any ideas how to move the body shell around? Just how heavy is it without all the parts and the few hundred pounds of bondo I will remove fromt he previous owner? I need to get it onto a flat bed so I can get it to a friends for welding, and then to a paint shop.

If you are just looking to roll it around in the garage so to speak, make a 4 legged table out of 2x4's, cross brace it, and put casters on it.

you can lose more weight by removing the front fenders, the doors, and the trunk lid, but i dont know how solid whats left will be!

You have come a long way my man. If you have access to a welder you can build a cart very easy out of 2x2 .120 tubes? Here is one I built for mine cost about $50. Keep the pictures coming as you get your work done.
