rotisserie (sp?)
Hey Gang,
Anyone here have a set of plans or a link to building a rotisserie. We want to spin the car on its side to weld the rockers
we have just the shell no running gear.

thanks

rotisserie just didn't look right when I typed it.
I saw one set up that was a 2X2 tube octagon that went all around the car
bolted to suspension bolt holes.
Id like to see different types
shine
is there a bushing in the sleeve to make it spin smooth or metal to metal?
what size tube and pipe did you use?

showing off again
Howdy Gang,
Just had to show our rotissere for our outlaw Porsche 356 super 90 we are building
we have a overhead monorail with 2 - 1 1/2 ton chain block hoist to lift and spin it.
The frames is made of 2 1/4" square steel tubing
the top half is removeable when not needed
The 4 wheel steering is made from K cars and VW golf rear axle stub shafts
we can get the whole set up into some small spots for storing and out of the shop when the space is needed
the wheels come off in less than 5 minutes
so far it has been really great to use
no more overhead welding--- hurrah
happy trails

I used two engine stands to make a frame rotisserie when I did the frame under my '27. I tied the front into the speader bar and the rear into the rear crossmember. Made it great to paint all the sides, just spun it around. I don't know if this setup would be strong enough to hold a whole car frame and body though. If you did, you would have to tie the two engine stands together with a piece of square tubing at the bottoms so they wouldn't move away from one another, I would think.

no bushings, i just give it a shot of grease now and then. i built it heavy because i will use it a lot in the blast booth. thin metal will fatique pretty quick if you use it a lot. it has mount holes for early vettes, tri 5's and i build mounts each time i use something different. it has saved me so much time it is paid for
