First, I have a typical two car garage with an 8' ceiling, should I plan to remove the body in the driveway?

I want to remove the body without damaging it. I would also like to have the ability to transport it; first, to have it media blasted and second to have the interior and underside sprayed with bedliner. Do I need to rig up a cradle with casters using the body mounts?

I don't have a shop but would like to make every effort possible to do the body and frame right the first time. I see no other way without separating the two.
