We were able to move the body shell for my Tiger with four medium sized guys
manning two 4X4s placed approximately where the axles would go.  The 4X4s
were long enough to extend about 2 feet on either side of the car.  It was a
little touch and go though and 4 bear sized guys would have been better.

Having bears around the shop is probably a bit hazardous 
anyway. ;-)

Seriously though, what's the typical reassembly sequence after 
dipping?   Mainly curious if the wheels usually go back under 
it before paint and body.  Seems like moving a freshly painted 
body-shell around (on/off trailers between shops, etc) without 
wheels and without inflicting dings would be tough for most 
hobbiest restorers.  Is it not as bad as it sounds?
