As I move thru the restoration process, I now need to use my mid level hoist, a snap-on 6,000lb scissor type lift with swing out arms. I found the lift points in the Fisher manual and setup the hoist then raised the car until the wheels were just off the ground to test stability etc....this is the first time I have used this hoist. I noticed the door gaps had changed slightly and I can't open the doors, the top is down.
Just wondering if the top frame needs to be up and latched or if the car can be safely raised with the doors closed and the top down, and just not be able to open the doors while it's in the air? Is this normal or should I be concerned about a weakness in the unibody?
