Good day to everyone, I do hear that, it would be awesome to have a body that lifted up with a push of a button.
No real help from me, never done it, but you need a double hinge point for stableness on a large body and a smaller light weight body might work with a single center hinge.
One can make it like door hinges, or brackets and pinned bushings would do the trick.
I do hope you the best with this project.:)
I thought I had seen this done before.
But I can not find it now.
No real advice other than whatever you do it will be all hand made by you.
I have had the body off mine a dozen time in the last six months getting the engine swap done from VW engine to a water cooled GM ecotec 2.4l. I can't imagine how you could accomplish a tilt up without spending a lot of engineering time and a boat load of dollars and still have a safe stable machine. It's not that hard to pull the main body. I use and overhead electric winch and straps to be able to do it by my self. Otherwise it's a two person job.
