i think when i install my engine, I'll do it from the bottom too
if i do, I'll take my car to work and use a forklift to hold up the body, and put the subframe on a pallet and use a pallet jack to move it around

Harbor Freight Tools has a 2 ton Picker on sale for 150 or 175 I saw in a sales ad here. Might be worth the $$ just in case life happens...you know how it goes.

GL on finding a helping hand and you might try posting in your "regional forum" and have a little better luck.

Sounds like that would work to me if you could get the pallet jack around the forklift unless you have some way of holding or suspending the car up. Let us know and take pics please for heavens sake...
