Nope....just as easy. You don't even need to be exact backing in. Just ballpark, lower, remove wood, position top, bolt on, Done!! Just make sure to put a new foam seal first.

LOL Bocce, you should see me take whole 8 foot beds off Full size pickups by myself. Caps weigh nothing compared to the beds.
My method is to unbolt everything. put 2 pairs of 50 gallon drums a little wider than my truck and back the bed in between. Then I use similar method as you to put 2x wood under the bed and drive out. The only thing is I have to do it in my field due to not having any kind of garage roof to hang anything by.
Without a lift, whis is one of the best ways to service everything from brakes to fuel lines etc on a truck that I have found over the years.

So anyway, went pawn shop shopping today. 4 shops, only 2 with anything even worth looking at. I could of bought a dozen squires for $69 each. Lots of Epiphones. Mostly junk. Only saw one nice LP and a 335. Was fun looking at all the other crap. Almost bought a lost in space robot

I know your pain!
12 months ago the people next door to me had their house demolished for a new build. My dear wife also arranged for free pavers. They're still in two stacks way down our backyard and my back is just about healed.

So any way . . . . I haven't been around much the past week or so because of ALL the drama and politics at work, that some how managed to follow me home. I got caught in the middle of a boss and a co-worker. Since I am the Dept. Lead they both came to me . . . different times of course. Tempers and Egos, a bad combination. Its over now . . . I think. It was a crappy week for sure.

^^^ I'm sure I've seen Mad Max killing people with stuff that looks very similar to that...
Did you literally make them out of slabs of wood? If so, great work.
What your last thread on the two bodies you bought showed was that you are at the level to make complete guitars better than buying parts from other folks, imho. Your road from a novice (a complete novice just 18 months to 2 years ago) to a skilled gent, and soon to become a craftsman has been enjoyable to watch. I may have been a tad harsh in that thread, but that wasn't the intention, but rather to see the first set of prototypes for RVA guitars - can't be long now.
