A friend built this, I like the lift cylinders, solves the how do I get the car up that high problem. He is adding a motor to turn the car. I'm trying to get a materials list ans approximate cost from him.

I agree cylinders are nice. Motor to turn the car over is not necessary at all, though, IMHO.
I wish mine was that nice ! |

I agree about the motor for a 914, but he is a Mopar guy doing a Cuda. It should still turn well by itself, but he is an overkill kind of guy. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Am I seeing this correctly or am I missing something?
Usually the mounting bars which bolt to the 914 bumper points are at the rotisserie pivot point so that the car is somewhat balanced and can be rotated. The pictures seem to show the mounting bars 1 to 2 feet below the pivot point. It is going to take a hell of a lot of effort to rotate a car shell and then hold it in place if that is correct. |

Okay, now i get it. Thanks for the enlarged photo. With that arrangement it looks like the body may rest on the four projecting tubes which would put the center of gravity above them. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) |

it's ajustable to the height of the bumber of the car on the ground. It appears to then lift at the pivot, so the fulcrum length would be the distance between the pivot and the bumper bracket. This would indeen take some effort to rotate a car 1-2 feet from the pivot. I guess if I saw it in operation, it might make more sense.
