Come on up to Quincy and I'll show you the one I had made by Richard Webster at Custom Performance. The price was reasonable and he'll make it any way you want it. Check my web page or the link below for a picture of an "A" body GTO on it.

I built this rotator for about $200. The 65 Chevelle Convertible in the backround is braced and ready to go on it. Hopefully withing the next week or two.

Heres a link to plans I had found when I was looking to build one.

I finished it about 2 weeks ago and so far has worked great. I spent about $300 and a few weekends building it, it really wasn't hard at all if you can use a welder.

I have pictures of it at my website (www.ChevelleSS.com), with the body on it. I consider it an indispensable tool if you're doing any kind of major body work.

I'm glad you saved that, I put it up On my friend, John's (ima454) site on cysource.com then they sold out and he lost his web space
I couldn't find a copy on any of my machines
notice the Corvair BG, he went from Chevelles to Corvairs (he still has a 74-454 Malibu but the body is rusted out bad)
