several library books published over the years have plans. Maybe run a search and find some on like DIY type sites.

Just made one last year for my 65 body works great and fully adjustable. I made it so you could take it apart and store it in a reasonable space also. I have the drawings. do you have access to any drafting software, let me know.

I have Very good set of plans. The cost of parts about $200. I can email you a CAD file or PDF. I'm building this in a couple of weeks. I took someone elses design (he wrote it mostly text instructions) and made a AutoCAD plan set with bill of material, drilling shcedule, and assy.

There the plans from mgbexperience.com

any questions please call me (262-532-9320)

Here's one I copied from a magazine (http://macc.chevelles.net/rotator.htm)

Prices have no doubt gone up since I made the web page :(

Hi Dean. That's the same one I drafted my plans from. My plans are all CAD drafted pictures. I did this because I can't always just read something and make it. I like pictures, diagrams, and schmatics. This way I could gaurenty his dimensions. I belive that Artical HAD MISTAKES in the asymbly wording. Most people probly over looked it, but I drafted it up in cad to make sure everything fit togeather.

Dean, The misstakes are not from you unless you wrote the "original" artical. I don't remember what it was because I drew these over a mounth ago. But they had to do with calling for the wrong part. Can you "post" the PDF file on this Site somewere? I've gotten at least 6 emails asking for the plans today. Just a thought.

Jawez- Do you really own that 355 in your signature? I love that car (and all other Ferrari's for that mater)!

Dunno about the PDF file, email it to me and I'll see if I can upload it

gman,

I did the same thing you did. I took that article and detailed all of the components in AutoCAD. I made a few adjustments to make it fit A-bodies better as it was originally done for a Mopar. I'll send you mine if you'll send me yours :rolleyes:

Might be nice to compare the designs. I in tend to start building it this summer.

gman, I would love to have a copy of the pdf file also. I have a '67 that I'm planning on taking down this summer. Also, I have Visio loaded on my computer, will it open a cadd file?

Thanks for the help,

I don't know if it will open with that program, but I sent you both the CAD file and PDF.

This makes about the 12th person I sent the plans to today. I don't mind at all sending them, but I think it would work out really well if some one can post the PDF on thier website or this one. If not, then just keep on asking me and I'm more than happy to email them.

It works. Unfortunatly I found one mistake and a couple of parts in the finnal assym :mad: . that needed to be labeled. I updated the Pdf and can send it to you again. Sorry, no ones perfect. For those of you who already have the plan, the mistake is in step 5 where part number 9 is called out as part number 8. Please forgive me. Also I will be posting these on my photo page (in JPEG format) at Yahoo with a link in my signature.

This is a test to see if my Signature works or not. Dean, I'll resend you the PDF. Also put other pictures in my picture page including the v8 in my Fiero which is now in the chevelle. Again, I'm very sorry about the mistake.

Ya I'm the single one on the right. about 4 or 5 years ago. I'm 24 now. By the way, how do you get the links to say one thing and point to another? like instead of www.blablabla.com (http://www.blablabla.com) it says click here.
