Homebrew Rear Hardtop Shell Lift

[ScLeCo]

This is my $90 home made clamshell lift.
I had a leftover top side creeper that I was just going to give/throw away, I bought a $65 motorcycle lift, and some $15 rubber pads from Amazon, and I used some scrap metal tubing I had lying around and welded it together (feel free to laugh at my shitty welding). $10 for spray paint and it works great. I can lift the shell with just a hand held cordless wrench.
Even if you bought the top side creeper and all the metal tubing you could build the same thing for $200-250ish easy .
If you don't have a welder this could be bolted together with some slight modifications

[BigFootie]

Well done my friend, well done!

Nice! I need something like this.

Awesome haha I was looking at doing something similar about a week ago, but alas I cannot (yet) weld. Great job op!

Very similar to Topliftpros but at a fraction of the cost!

Great job!

Hell yes! Great work!

Care to walk us through it? Slowly, for the kids in the back with me…

I was going to ask the same thing! Specs, drawings, videos??

That's really cool! I had to google "top side creeper" never seen one of those. Have a couple regular creepers.

I would also really appreciate a pic of it just by itself without a top on it.

And what is the car under the tarp?

Have a great day!

Fantastic! Like others I’d love more details to try to make my own!

I will get some more pictures of the lift and details of what I did tomorrow.
Thank you for the kind words everyone.

Very Nice (both the top lift and the SRT)!! If you have time would appreciate more details on the top lift specs...seems someone could make these and sell for say for say $400.00 - $450.00 pocket some profit and provide a great product and a good value!!
