I have a need to build several ( probably 3) rotisseries in he very near future, and have my own plan of how I want to build it based on some I have used before at other shops. In pre-planning I wanted to see others designs and have been looking at several other styles. Today I happened upon this one. Seems all too appropriate eh ??

Hey Scotty,

While the professionally built rotisseries are very slick, but way to pricey for my budget.

If you noticed the video showed a unit based on 2 engine stands? That's what I used to make my own. I had 1 engine stand and bought the other from Craig's List. I had to cut the verticle support tube on each and weld in an extension for enough height, but the rest was just drilling and bolting. Using some old pipe I had it was pretty easy to do.

You can see that I mounted the chassis via the bumper holes and after just 1 adjustment to the front pivot point, got the car balanced for a very smooth rotation. Even with no bearings, the chassis rotates very nicely.

I'm currently repairing the rust areas of my '73 restoration project and it is a GREAT tool to have. I attached a couple photos, see what you think.

Terry
