No problem... ask away, we are here to share
Like this? Here is my gallery there are a few photos of the car on the rotisserrie.
With the fenders, hood, rad support and node piece I can rotate the car around 30 degrees either way. With just the body on it, front end removed it can be turned 360 degrees. Makes it great for welding, cleaning, bodywork (great for the bodylines), eventually for priming and painting too. Believe it or not serves as a marriage saver too, when I'm done working on the car can move it over to one side of the garage as the rotisserrie has wheels, really easy to move.
Inserted 1-1/2 angle into the 2x2 supports that are bolted to the car where the front frame mounts to the body, then McGyver'd a mount system for the rad support. From there once the rad support is mounted the rest just bolts together, much the same process aligning the fenders and hood as you would on the car itself. Hard to explain but I can take photos and add them if you like.
The towers of the rotissierrie are actually built using two 1500 lb Samona engine stands, I did modify the stand, but using the Samona made it really simple (just the way they are built). This was a design that I came up with taking a weekend all told to build. I did not alter the assembly that the engine would bolt to, rather I added the "T" arms and built it so they are removable for storage, transport and now I have a rotisserrie and two engine stands that I will use as engine stands later in the project. I did add a balancing system and bottle jacks to raise the car if needed (but I have never raised them).
It was an interesting project in itself and I don't think I would change any of the design, plenty strong and it is functional. Cost me around $800 in steel and stands and a couple of days welding. I can take and post or send you photos of all the pieces and how it fits together if you like. lmk
