Anyone have any thoughts on my question #4 ??

#4--When I lifted the body off the chassis I used my hydraulic two post lift - from what I see in the pix that I took at the time I must have lifted the body up some how and got the lift arms under the body (I don't really remember how I did that--too much water under the bridge)--When I put the body onto the chassis I am hoping to put two 2x4's through the body--one at the door opening (the doors will not be on the body) and the other 2x4 through the side windows. I posted a picture of a fellow that used the same process (naturally I will use some type of padding to protect the painted areas) Does anyone see a problem with that???
