The last time I lifted off a body sedan body (some years back I must admit)I put on beer & invited around 8 mates (Aussie for friends). Amazing what they & four 4 by 4’s can achieve! Nowadays I would be doing the hoist thing. 50 years ago I built a pit. Hoists were back then around $50,000 in todays money. Way beyond the pocketbook of a 25 year old. Fire in a pit is always a risk. I had two large powder extinguishers down there. Carbon dioxide extinguishers were the norm back then BUT deadly down a pit. Luckily in all this time I have never had a close call in the pit. It is all down to taking your time & doing what is now called a “Risk analysis”” Cheers
