I agree, I figured out the material cost out, only would save about $400 at the time.
then still have to engineer it, time, labor... then no warranty

worth the money

As everyone else has said, well worth the investment. 20 cars later, ours works like a champ- but it has at LEAST a dozen different colors to it now. Break down size is great too, cuz we all know equipment sits around from time to time.

Consider upgrading the wheels if you plan on rolling it around alot.

Hard to build for less!

Which AutoTwirler are you guys using? The regular or the plus? Any benefits for getting the plus as opposed to the regular? Have you used any of their other products like the dollies or body carts? I'm thinking of picking one up also.

I talked to them today and it sounds like they have a 100$ off special going on. Maybe they should become a Lat-G sponsor and offer up a group buy . Only thing is shipping is a biotch with these things because of the amount of steel.

Default group discount

I've already talked to Scott at AutoTwirler about building a 1st gen Camaro body cart. I've already sent him plans with exact measurements. Still waiting to hear back. I mentioned to him that there would probably be a lot of interest and I would arrange a group purchase if he wanted to sell multiple carts. I know I could just build it myself, but I have their standard rotisserie and I'm very impressed with their work.

By the way, if you don't want to worry about figuring out a way to lift your car approx. 3+ feet up in the air to mount to rotisserie, buy the Auto Twirler Plus. I wish I would have paid a little extra when I bought my standard model.

get the plus,you won't regret it,I know, I love mine,trying to lift or adjust height on regular one would be a big PITA,but with the plus model,it's a piece of cake, body cart is good to have when doing frame-off restoration
