    Default Car lift plans needed

    I'm wanting to fab a f500 lift and was wondering if anyone might have a set of plans that they might shear. Thanks in advance.

    An engine hoist can easily lift a FF or FC high enough to put it on a work stand. Cheap at $200 and doesn't take much space in the garage. Lift the front of the car with a flip jack and the back with a small floor jack to get the hoist feet under the car.

    Not as elegant as a frame with a winch, though.

    Hi- I liked what this guy did. I think it would work for, or can be adapted to what you’re planning.

    Default Another, perfect for F500 or FV
