'Modifying' the Blue Sky Motorsports Rotisserie, My own rust chronicles continue! Options

[davebrossi]

Hello all!

The more I think about it, and the more I'm left to putter away in my garage, I'm starting to settle on the idea that, yes, I probably do need to pull the drive train on the clown car and mock up some form of rotisserie for the sake of decent conditions for my welder, and because It'd be cheaper than begging a local mechanic to pay for lift space!

With that in mind I've started researching (started, the top five google results don't count as a thorough search, I know) and I came across Blue Sky Motorsport's almost DIY two piece rotisserie setup. The one piece of the article of note however is the mounting points as they indicate their design was made for cars built to 1974. Mine is a 'conversion' 76, so I'm wondering if anyone's built one of these and can comment on what changes I'd have to make. Here's the link to the article;

Hurray! More learning! :-D

I also increased the wall thickness and got rid of the triangulation. That allowed me to use the harbor freight receiver section to make the unit go up and down. the details of the build are in my build thread of the auto-x car.
