They're heavy... but not *that* heavy!
Bare chassis was humped around my garage a lot when building the car... and my chassis is getting on for Viento size.
HTH,
James

Good Luck with the build and enjoy tomorrow

In short No. You really need 2 people as a minimum. You have obviously spent a few thousand on your kit and dont want to damage it before you have
started.
When I arrived home with my kit its amazing how many neighbours came out for a nosey (and got roped in)

Take a sack truck with you. I moved my bare chassis on my own with ease, with it tied to the truck

The chssis isn't heavy at all, it's just the size and shape that makesit awkward to manage alone.
It can be done, but you're always best to get another set of hands to save your back/powdercoat/everything between the lorry and the garage
