See that, great minds think alike! I watched a roof buckle by lifting in the center of the doors. I just couldn't do mine that way!

And your Dad's idea is basically the same as mine! Span the vehicle with cribbing and hoist away. I just worked overhead, He / You guys worked from below or under the wood cribbing.

Except our "wood cribbing" went side to side where yours was end to end on the car. It seemed to work fine with that body structure. I wouldn't have dared to crawl inside the body without extra support in the middle though.

Actually, if you look close, you'll notice I did both! At the back I spanned across and picked up the bracing from floor to body almost "C" pillar! At the front I came under the firewall and tied together into the "a" pillars.
You can easily do the same!
