Chad -

I supported my TR6 body on a pair of 4x4's under either end of the rocker 
panels.  The 4x4's are held up by stacking cinder blocks as high as you 
want.  A picture would make this all clear.  Unfortunately, ASCII-art will 
have to do:


                  end view                              side view              
                                                      /                        
            |------------------|           ----------/-          ------------- 
            |       car        |          |  __       |__________|        __  |
            |------------------|          |_/  \_________________________/  \_|
4x4---> OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO    4x4---> O             4x4---> O       
          XX                    XX              XXX                   XXX      
cinder    XX                    XX              XXX                   XXX      
 blocks-> XX                    XX              XXX                   XXX      
          XX                    XX              XXX                   XXX      

By having the cinder blocks far enough apart, the frame with suspension 
attached can be rolled right out and back in when necessary.  The body is 
pretty light, too.
