I just used our fork lift rated at 2500 lbs and cut some 2x4's for reinforcments of the gun whales and it worked like a CHARM! After we sat it down and unhooked it we just have 4 people carry it over to the side of the shop and sat it down and I just braced it so nothing sags! This was EASY and CHEAP method of removing the top with out any issues,

Now that the top is off its GAME ON! More pics to come as the progress continues
