Finally able to get my project moving again! Friday I drove down to CT and picked up my rotissere from Chris Foley - he built this thing in three days! Couldn't resist putting it together yesterday and putting the car onto it by myself last night. Yeah, just me and two seriously big floor jacks and 2x10s to pick up the rear under the engine mounting bar. Well here it is. Chris, you are the man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

William, thanks for the info.
Looks like I'll be in the need of a rotisserie starting summerish 2005 and for at least a few months if all goes to plan. If you or anyone has one to rent for that time frame, I'm interested. Gots ta start saving my pennies. |
