Rotisserie ? Options

[914GTSTI]

Is anybody using the Restoration Design Rotisserie ?
How does it work for you ?
Thanks

So I finished the rotisserie. I now see how using the beam for the suspension saves a lot of trouble. Making the plates for the front mount was the hardest part for me.

I'm a bit disappointed though. It's very difficult to change the angle of the car and it doesn't balance on the diagonals by itself. By myself I can lift the car to the diagonal position but I'm unable to get it to the sideways position on my own.

I have the rear suspension still on so maybe if I had that off? — it has the trailing arms, shocks, rear calipers and brake discs so that is quite a bit of weight.

I did the dimensions and angles exactly as per the RD plan. I used larger casters so I offest the mounting bar up. Looking at my plan compared to the RD plan, it looks like mine sits lower, but I don't think it affects lifting it from the diagonal to the side or how it balances on the diagonal.

I think if the car was higher up in the hoops it might be easier. All the weight is at the bottom.

I had some help from a friend to get it on its side, but I'm racking my brain on how I'm going to get it back down. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)
