Chris, these plans came from me, correct? If so it works great! I got the plans from John Parsons and it really helped with my car!!

Heres one for a 69 chevelle, it might give you some ideas, with the double cross bar on the bottom it gives you more clearance on top, helps keep it away from the garage door opener etc.

Yeah, Tony, these were from you. Still in the process of building as I can't seem to get too much free time here lately.

Tony, you still have those plans, if so could i get a copy. Getting ready to take my car apart again and a rotisserie would definately make things easier. Thanks, Josh

Here's some pics of the rotisserie I built for my 68 Acadian (Nova).

I used 2 1/2" square tubing for the main body. I used 3" for the piece attached to the bottle jack. I then used 2" for the cross bars that bolt up to the rotesserie and the car. I used 4" castors that were welded to the bottom. The four on the end are swivel with brakes. The two in the middle are stationary. I used gussets everywhere just to put my mind at ease.



2" tubing. These were both cut to be the same length.



Bottle jacks that I used



Bolted to the car

Damn that's killer

What is the minimum ceiling height ... I have fairly low ceilings in my garage and I want to make sure I will clear...

I may have to build a perimeter style frame so I can swing the body closer to the ground, but the bottle jack idea is great, never occured to me to do that....

I would like to get some more info from you on the spec's and parts used to build that.

Looks like we're both in BC, where did you source your parts??

I can take some more pics this weekend. I'm just heading to Kelowna right now so don't have time. Most of the steel I got from a local steel shop. I'm glad I did. I bought all the steel from them and then whenever I went back needing smaller pieces or flat pieces, they just gave me scrap for free. The bottle jacks are from Princess Auto. I got my grade 8 bolts elsewhere, but you could get all the bolts there too as they have a good selection of grade 8 stuff. Actually you could get the castors there too. Like I said, I'll try and get some more pics this weekend of what I did. As for the roof..I'll measure it. Oh yeah..I'm in Kamloops.

I'd be interested in plans as well. I was originally going to do a stand based upon a set of engine stands, although would love to see other ideas.
