Was putting in the tubs today and had the body going up and down to fit them (cant get the tubs to clear with the chassis in place)... anyways I was trying to lift the body a inch or so in the rear and my hoist went crazy... it started going up by itself and before I could get to the breaker panel the front fell and busted up the front end... its fixable but DAMN, I take 1 step forward and 2 steps back...... and the one fender was NEW and the last one to be found

Wow that sucks, sorry to hear. Curious what the problem was with the switch?
I have no clue as of yet... I'm so PISSED... I got the
car back on the hoist and came into the house to COOL off...
I'll check the switch on the hoist to see if its got
crud in it or what

Sorry to hear it, Raff. Hope the repair isn't too severe.

Thats one of those things that will make you solve all the problems with 5 gallons of gas. You did the best thing, just walk away for a while.
Gas wash , match dry ?
I save that for the final answer........after I've used the 50 / 50 , ask the audience and phone a friend.
Bummer Mike , but as stated......glad you weren't hurt.

My buddy had the same thing happen while hoisting OUR car onto the trailer. Apparently this kind of thing isn't so rare.

I'm just glad you're o.k. You can fix that car. I think you're one of the sharpest and talented guys on this forum. Good luck on getting her back together. Now time to check my own lift.......
