I had one of the "t bird suppliers " lifts. The rope was small, and the pulleys didn't have quite enough reduction for a 60 year old guy. I could use it, but it was a pain.

I've read the bird tops tend to spread out when off the car. Mine is off more than on and that happened. The pins right behind the doors don't fit into the holes. Starting over I'd have a hoist to remove it, and then store it in one of the roll around racks they sell. And figure out a way to clamp or band the sides together. But now it's more equipment and more room, etc. My top has been on a high shelf at my buddy's shop for 2-3 years now.
