Looks good but I will stick with the one I made...one engine hoist, 2 2x4s, and a couple of long bolts. I built this to lift F100 cabs but since my latest build is a 40 Ford coupe I thought I would give it a go...works great especially when you are working as a 1-man shop.

...lol Very nice shop set up, when I did my panel I had chains strung between trees with a spreader between them and a chain hoist much like your set up , just a little more primitive.

Not wanting to 
hijack the thread but since Ross mentioned it, I'll throw the picture back up. The secret is using chains and adjustable links of some kind to maintain a level even load on the cab. My hoist is a larger unit and it did the job with ease. I also used it to remove and install a front clip from the F4. Truly, a one man job.
