Engine host does works well. If you use joist in your garage put a 4x4 post up under them for support. The first shell I took off without the interior or doors on it I used 4 comealongs on each corner of the car body and lifted it that way with a support post on the interior side of the garage and the other two connected by the wall. At the body shop just 2 comealongs and did it this way.
Also a floor jack and blocks will work, invite 4 friends over and lift it off.
