Greg,
For what its worth I just removed the body off a 1961 TR3
this past weekend. However, I cut it in half first (left to right,
fore and aft) because I needed the rear part of the body
and the front was trash. Anyway, it seems to me that how
self-supporting it is depends on the condition of the
sills or beams that connect the front to the rear. In
my case the right sill was rusted badly and I am sure
that the body would have buckled if I tried to remove
it whole. I believe, but don't know for a fact, that
if the sills are sound it would handle well. Maybe
some others can give more input.
Good luck on your venture.
