I think most people build their own with 2 engine stands and some scrap steel. Of course, you have to own a welder.

I built one myself from these plans.....I just used tubes ( ID/OD not too far apart) to make my ends no engine stand required it cost me 275 including a metal chop saw to cut and took me 1/2 a day to build Thanks George....LET ME tell you it makes work SOOOOOO much easier...  |

I have hydraulic jacks on the ends of mine. I have to have them so that I can take my car down and move it with the forklift and store it out of the way when I am not working on it.
Works for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Attached image(s)

QUOTE(John @ Jan 11 2007, 09:58 PM) Here are my nearly complete plans. I built mine from this. I used those very plans as the basis for mine - which I just came in from working on my car on (not that you would know, mine turned out pretty different). Buying a twirler is going to cost you bank. Mine was ~$250 for all the parts to make it. 2 engine stands from HF (the cheap $30 ones) and some steel from a local steel yard, nuts and bolts and casters from the local hardware store. Heres mine. The orange bits are from the chopped up engine stands. (IMG:http://farm1.static.flickr.com/102/253638945_0a7fa3cff9.jpg) (IMG:http://farm1.static.flickr.com/92/253638998_92eba0afea.jpg) You will notice the the uprights are slanted out and then go up. This is due to the fact that the engine stands are on an outward slant. When I chopped them, I took this into account and squared them off for the rest of the vertical rise. Zach |

I built mine with some junk pipe in a field behind my shop. Just took some measurements and sketched a simple plan.
(IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche070.jpg) (IMG:http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a92/tdsmoonchild/porsche056.jpg) Bought the casters at Harbor Freight. More pics in my thread below of it going together. |
