Hi guys hopefully somebody has some ideas on some kind of frame work to hoist the hard top out of my way, towards the ceiling.I need the room to continue working on dream machine.Thanks Stinky /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thankyousign.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/bow.gif /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wall.gif
 
Well Stinky60, if you have the height and an open ceiling with joists. A couple of heavy nylon belts and a cheap block and tackle should let you get it up and out of the way safely.---Keoke-?

There's that, and real store-bought hardtop hoists available. The store-bought kind usually have some kind of bar to span the width, with a hook-affair to catch the trailing edge.

Do a (google) search for BMW or Mercedes hardtop hoist. You can even get them with electric motors!
 
Thanks, you guys I will do a search,and see what I can do about making a hoist, Iam a tite wad when it comes to something like that.Thanks again stinky
