I took a short detour while working on the car to help make things easier. I spent the better part of the month of August and September 2008 building my first rotisserie for the body. I found the design online and proceed to cut and weld the parts together. This is the first major welding I've done in 15+ years so I was a bit rusty but most of it came back. At some point in the future a large mig/tig welder is going to be on the wish list to help with the larger projects.
Here's an update to the rotisserie stand from July 2010. I had to modify the stands to enable the body to rotate completely. As you can see I've added a hydraulic jack to the stand. This gives me a very flexible height adjustment to make it easier to load and unload the body as well as the ability to extend the height to rotate the body 90 degrees with plenty of height to spare. As it turns out the design worked out quite well to help support the weight and allow the rotisserie to work correctly.
