Rotisserie, build or buy?

Recommendations on who manufactures a good one, recommendations on who has a good plan available to make one..

Thanks

I believe tangerine sells one either pre-welded or in kit form.

The ones you buy (generally) have lousy tolerances and wiggle back and forth. They look good in the catalog and website but suck in real life. Not saying that about tangerine, there stuff is always very high quality.

I've heard good things about the Tangerine one. I bought one from derekweaver . com and have been really satisfied. It is super solid with a lot of adjustments, jacks, an easy twirling mechanism that locks into place. Mounting and then balancing the car is the hard part, but I figure that's true with any rotisserie.

Thinking I could build my own by using a plan that is already out there.

I have no issue making my own but it takes time, which is also money.

I like the way this one attaches to the body, especially if it's a 75 or 76. Also if the bumper attachment areas are compromised structurally by rust.

There are others of course.

I saw Chris (Tangerine) had a bunch of materials in the shop last weekend to fab those up; he might even have one on hand ready to ship.

Is Chris a member to the world?

If so what is his username?

Thank you

Chris's is actually quite reasonably priced (even in comparison to making your own from 2 engine stands). Welding it all together should be really fast! If I hadn't bought and cut the engine stands before finding out Chris sells them I certainly would have bought his. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I believe that I have posted the drawing/sketch that I drew in the past. Here is another copy. I made mine from it. While not complete, it should provide a good start.

I built mine because I had the material and I tend to build my own stuff.

Went with a stand first, then transferred to a rotisserie on loan.
(This was for the rare case of no structural repair required)
