jeff martin Apr 9th, 02, 1:43 AM Just wondering if anyone has ever used a rotisserie with the car on the frame. I dont wnt to have to take the body off the frame, so if anyone has ever done this before or even made their own rotisserie, info on this subject would be greatly appreciated. the car in question is a 70' chevelle 1966_L78 Apr 9th, 02, 12:00 PM Sorry, I haven't done this, but I would think that by the time you get everything eles off (you're not really gonna try and rotate that thing with the doors/glass/interior etc still attached, are you?), removing the body from the frame would be easy, a few bolts, and only a few bucks for new body mounts... Can really detail everything, change the old bushings, and the fuel line, etc... I think rotisserie would have to be very big to support the weight of the frame and everything else too... Of course thast just my opinion... chevelless502 Apr 10th, 02, 12:24 AM I will try to rmemeber but there is a person on here who has used a rotisserie that bolts to the hubs, where the wheels go and it will lay it right on its side while it is complete. If you want to email me I will try to find some pics of it and who it is when I get to work tommorow. It was a slick deal except becareful of engine fluids leaking out. I will se what I can find for ya. Andy ------------------ Live Life FULL Throttle!!

They have the system mentioned that bolts to the hubs. [This message has been edited by 70Z15 (edited 04-10-2002).] Professor_SS Apr 10th, 02, 9:35 PM We did have a thread on this a while back. I used one of the units that bolted to the hubs to roll the car up on its side. The guy that I worked with to do the trunk and floor panels on my car owns it. Really worked great. I have some pictures that I would forward to you if you're interested. ------------------ 70 and 72 Chevelle ACES # 4051 MCC # 448 TC # 1549 81/70 Cruisers Brian Hoss Apr 10th, 02, 10:12 PM I almost went this route myself, but by the time I figured out exactly how to do it, it was best for me to yank the frame out. Forget sand blasting. I had mine chemically dipped. Let me tell you. Its CLEAN. Inside, and out. No sand or debris left anywhere. Just clean, rust free metal. Best thing I did for that old car. I'll never sand blast a frame again! WK Irish Apr 11th, 02, 1:04 PM Jeff: There are a couple of guys whose websites illustrate the use of rotisserie units on our site's Link's page - I don't recall precisely which ones they are, but I do know they are Zero Rust users so that will narrow the search. One even outlines the materials necessary to build your own. Might be worth your while. HTH WK Irish ------------------ See ya' on the net at www.zerorust.com (http://www.zerorust.com) | ||
