Rig lifting lines and pulleys from the ceiling so you can just lift and drop the body. It's light enough your ceiling should take the weight and it's high enough to just go up and down right in place. 4 lines one to each corner so it doesn't flail around. Hook it up to a cheap harbor freight winch on the wall.
@purplebooger6410Ай бұрын
I was thinking the same but with a bicycle ceiling pulleys kit for pulling bicycles up to the ceiling for storage. He may need to replace the rope with a better rope depending but one kit would be strong enough as it is for several bicycles.
@tylow00Ай бұрын
Maybe a little help/tip… tack some 1” or 1x1 something you have laying around to the bottom of the frame, to where it sticks out of the sides. Then you can set the body on that and it’ll put the bottom of the rocker in line with the bottom of the frame Move your link mount crossmember back to right before the frame pops up and just shorten links. That looks like it’d give you room for seats
