Storing the Body

I decided to keep the body inside and store it suspended from the ceiling. The ceilings are 9'.  I used two sets of bike ceiling hoist to lift the hood and two sets for the body. After hoisting both, ratcheting tie downs were used to suspend the hood and body. Two tie downs were used for the hood and four for the body.  I also added some support in the center of the body. I'm 5'10", can walk under the body with 2-3" of clearance and it securely stowed in a level position.  With planning and the use of the bike hoist I was able to do this by myself.  The hoist allowed me to lift and hold the body while I moved between the four corners to ratchet them.
