Weight
Here's a weird question for y'all. How much does the body on a Ghia weigh?

Re: Weight
Yeah, I'm trying to come up with a stand to hold the body and allow me to roll the chassis under it. I have limited space in my garage.

Re: Weight
Anyone have any kind of pictures of the underside of the Ghia's body or what kind if frame I'm going to need to create to support it?
