Awesome Hoist

Dito to what Purplehayzzze said. I built my hoist based on the details of the author. The top came off with no effort. Top will be off until the snow flies.

Your almost done...you need to put a platform under the top so the top can rest on it. If you don't the top will warp and you will find yourself with a leaky hardtop when it rains.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I had planned on doing that just for the sake of storing the front panels anyway but do you really think the top will warp?

I live in Minnesota so I can only be topless for a few months out of the year and therefore wouldn't be hanging it for long periods at a time.
