    Two people can easily pick up the body.

    Unless the doors are already off, they do not come of easy. You will have to push the pins out...if you try to do it in a hurry and pound them out you will wreak the hinges.

    The hinge pins have a bit of splined area just below the head that can become pretty well set if they have been in there 80 years or so. Most of the good Model A suppliers-and Bob Drake-sell a $25 tool with hardened pins that will (usually) push the pins out safely.
