QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ Jun 4 2008, 02:11 PM)  Pics of the one I built. (IMG:http://farm1.static.flickr.com/92/253638998_92eba0afea.jpg) I mounted it by bolting it directly to the 75-76 bumper mounts. No Problem! I'm concerned about the stress on the longs across the the bay. I have just a little rust in the heel hole and my doors still shut fine. Being supported end to end, is the weight going to be too much? |

Being supported end to end, is the weight going to be too much? The short answer is NO. The long answer is It Depends on how much rust is a "little." The easiest way to have it not be an issue is to brace the doors. In my particular case, I was not convinced I would need the rig until after I had done my de-rusting and welding. I built it mostly for stripping and painting the car. Zach |

Started on the rotisserie today. One side is done and other on the way. As I'm back dating the bumpers does anyone have the info for it? I know I saw something awhile back on it but cant find it. Here's some pics.

If you're worried about stress on the longs...
Before you get it off the jack stands, weld in an Engman stiffening kit and put the top on. Then lift and roll. |

I have the Engman stiffening kit installed. I'm going to install a door to roll bar brace anyway just to be on the safe side.

Finished the rotisserie and mounted the 914 to it. Works good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
