    Insurance doesn't hire lawyers, they just deny the claim. I changed my mind though, I don't think that would be covered. Maybe though.

    2 years ago at Easter Jeep Safari, Mac's Tie Downs hung his jeep from a crane, vertically. It was mounted on a small trailer. Pretty cool and generated a huge amount of press and business for them. There are still pics on their website, I might have more stashed somewhere too...

    Get 4 of THESE with shackles to go with the load. I know its overkill by a lot but fucking people do some stupid ass things. Get 1" thick by 6" wide and the width of the car by one foot more on each side. Cut holes on the steel to correspond with the frame holes OR create 1" holes in the frame of the car to accept ONLY GRADE 8 bolts that are 3/4" and however long. Then cut or drill holes in the ends of the steel to accommodate the shackles. Hang accordingly. May need a total of 12 shackles for attaching to the I beams in the ceiling.

    It could probably be safely lifted by a couple of beams that bear against the subframe. You could then use a single point x-sling(think 5K working load) that ran to the ends of the beams. Use spreaders above the roof line to keep the slings from rubbing on the car.

    That being said, your boss' boss should probably be encouraged to reconsider this stunt.

    Seriously, over engineering is making this quite complex. Roll the windows down, throw some tow straps, and rig it up!
