Body removal

[Slowplane]

I'd like to lift the body off the frame of my '29 woody. (an original 150A)

The chassis needs attention, and would be more easily repaired w/o the body on it. the body is solid, and I thought it could be lifted in one piece, from firewall to tailgate, after removing the shifter and steering column to minimize the lift.

Would any readers have any suggestions, advice, or warnings concerning this plan?

Thanks, Jeff
