Had plenty of help. Turns out an MGA body without fenders weighs I'd guess less then four hundred pounds - four guys picked it up and I"m pretty sure each guy was lifting less than a 100 pounds. We also learned you should not install the gas tank to the chassis prior to body install - the angled filler neck simply does not clear as you bring the body into place. Oh well.
I counted 26 5/16 inch fine thread bolts needed to complete the install. Plus 14 pieces of sheet cork and 8 pieces of foam spacer. By the time we were done all of these pieces were correctly in place.
Here's some pics:
Now we wait until Darrell completes the rest of the bodywork and paint. He will install fenders, doors, hood, and trunk lid.
