I need to remove the body of my burb to work on my chassis, I need to paint the chassis. I dont have a garage, so I am working outside on a concrete slab, what do you guys do to remove it and to support it. Any pictures ideas, thanks

It takes this many, and man is it heavy. I built a cart for mine. But if you are just going to set it down try not to set it too low on whatever kind of platform you come up with. It will make it easier when you go to pick it up. Hopefully your friends will answer the phone when its time to put it back on the chassis =)
