Not a rotisserie but will get the job done.

Nice job looks good. How do you get the body on it's side?

 

[Phaeton]

Wife and I picked it up. Heavy but not to bad.

Nice looking rig. Very odd as just this week I was just thinking about possibly doing some thing like this rather than going with the expense off a rotissreie. Hmmm interesting.

Is "the wife" a championship wrestler? Just kidding...just kidding! Great idea!!!

 

[Phaeton]

No Helga wrestles no more. Just kidding. We put one side of the body as high as possible on jacks stands. Then we both just lifted it up. Taking the body off the car was really hard and heavy. But rotating it on it's side was actually pretty easy.

Could you please post up the deminsions of that thing? Pretty cool. Also, how did you attach it? Is it just bolted at 4 body mounts?

 

[berner]

Pretty slick!

Bolts to body mounts. 2" X 2" X .125 wall tubing. Dimensions before car was tilted. Under body 6' Leg going up the side 4' Front post to body mount 5" rear post to body mount 7" A couple gussets and pads for the feet. You could also add casters so you can roll the car around. If you need to roll the car the other way just unbolt the arms and remount them on the other side.

Very cool! How tall is the car on it's side like that? Thanks

 

[Phaeton]

6' 4" very easy to reach and sand.

 

[ellevehC-723-67]

Is that to the highest part of the car? I'm thinking of putting 67 on one of these for inside my garage with casters. Thanks

:thumbsup:

Not to the highest part of the car. You could get it in the garage with casters thru a 7' door just don't have the bottom side so far off the ground. I made mine so I can sit on a 5 gallon bucket and work on the lower parts.

 

[ellevehC-723-67]

Thanks

Wife and I picked it up. Heavy but not to bad.

And my wife complains when I ask her to help bleed the brakes. I have got to show her this.

So you work on it outside, and then haul it back in when finished?

You yould also just add another leg to the other side and then you wouldn't need to remove it to flip it. I like it, Simple and effective. :thumbsup:

I for one, am going to be a copy cat. I like it. I have been wanting to pull mine off the frame as it is down to a bare shell anyway....I did a frame off on an el camino a few years ago and it was aweful working on your back,so I hadn't decided if I was going to do this one or not...seeing this made the decision for me.

Northern Cali 111 on Saturday and 100 today. I will leave it outside for a couple more weeks. I want to get the floor sone inside the car then put the body back on the frame.
