Or you can set up a one person method with a pulley and lines going to fender mirrors. I do have mine set up as a forward tilt bonnet and I rigged pulley up to an overhead beam. I see ads for Space saving rope and pulley systems to suspend bikes, other items from the ceiling i.e. Spridget Hardtops. Same sort of thing can be adapted. I had some spare sailing hardware I repurposed. Now I would not want to pay retail for those Harken Blocks Blocks and Mainsteet Cleat I repurposed but something simple can be rigged up to allow you to handle by yourself.
Two at minimum would be better to do this job even with my system.

If you are in good shape, undo everything, grab the headlight holes and make like a living bra. Lift and separate :wink:
It is a bit heavy and I would not do this with a decent paint job, but if this is the start of a project, pull out the headliamps, undo the hinges, remove the prop rods from the bonnet, lower it down on a board across the inner fenders, grab the headlamp holes and lift.
