Father Son Rotisserie Project, How I spent my weekend. . . Options

[toolguy]

Sure is nice to have a son who is interested in cars and restorations and to be able to do things together. . . even if his current project is a 65 Mustang. . . I built one of these for my 914 but came up with a better idea on this one for raising the car. Sometimes simple is better. . $20 Harbor Freight 2000 lb trailer winch did the trick. . The winch is bolted onto a square sleeve that fits into the upright post so you only need 1 winch and move it from end to end. . All the metal was 2 1/2 and.180 wall . . the vertical slider was 3" 180 wall. the rotating pivots are DOM with a slip fit. . total cost was $300 for metal, and $45 for the wheels and the $20 hoist {On sale with a 25% coupon}. . and two days fabricating. Change the mount plates and fit any car. . Hope this can help someone with their 914.
PS no shown is 2" square tube that slide into the legs to tie the two ends together. .


Metal laid out to start.
