Has anyone built a rotisserie using this set of plans, 914 rotisserie ? If so, how did it work out and how do you get the body jacked high enough to attach it?

Thanks... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon14.gif)

I havent used those plans.. but we have built 2-3 now. I borrow 3-4 decent sized buddies and we lift the car up onto it (without suspension/engine/trans) Pretty easy actually.

Like this:

This 9146 is currently at the body shop.

I used the plans as a guide but it looked much the same. Sold it to a guy in KC Kansas. Bid mistake selling it, I'll have to build another. To lift the car I put the car as high a I could go with jack stands and very carefully lift one end at a time with an engine hoist. Once you have it up make sure you tie the stands together before you do anything else. When I built mine I ran the beam that ties the stands together all the way through the stand. I made my lock downs behind the stands so I don't have be anywhere near under the car when I tighten down the beam that ties the stands together.

I think I've the issue of getting the car on the rotesserie. I'm going to add a beam in the ceiling of the garage I building and use a chain hoist and helpers to guide the car.

Rotisserie works great if you don't have to ever move it . I chose to build another form of stand.

Here is the one that I made out of drill pipe that was laying around. Cost was about $10.00 and that was for the four casters. Chief helper is standing next to the car! I didn't know how these cars would hold up mounting the rotisserie at the bumper mounts, so I mounted mine at the front suspension mounts and transmission mounts in the rear.

The kid so far hasn't became part of the stand. She is also a pretty darn good tool getter. She has also scraped off more of the undercoating than I have. She is closer to being the "future owner" than her mom is! I think this car will be hers, and the 76 that is going to be redone after this one will probably belong to my son who is 7 months old now !!!!

Well, if she knew that she could go see her Uncle John and Aunt Melody that live in Woodinville, she would probably have her bags packed in a heartbeat!

I built mine after looking at several sets of plans and photos on the net.

Mine cost less than $450 to build.

I used 4 6" industrial casters with brakes ($110)

2 Ag grade D rings ($12)

Misc hardware ($25)

2 2-ton cum alongs ($50)

The rest is cost of steel and a 12pack for my machinest buddy to bore holes.

I can lift mine from sitting on the ground.

I wish I had seen thoes plans for buidling my yoke. I built my yoke out of 1" sq tubing by bolting 8" peices to the bumper mount holes and then welding up the tubing to attach. Crude but effective.

Photos soon.

Casters are mounted to a plate on a seperate tube. Extendable from 6" to 24"

That way if I have to transport on a trailer. I can insert a smaller square tube for mounting on the trailer....

View two.

I used a 7x14" plate for shimming. In final assembly, I used about .070" in shims to true up the pivots.

The 5/8" pins were $7 each at the hardware store or trailer supply places. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

They were $2.25 each at the farm supply stores! Tractor supply, Wheeler's, Country General... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
