Wooden Rotisserie for a Festiva

[Doug Brown]

With luck, there will be 3 pictures of the wooden rotisserie that I built to work on RED, my drag racer under construction.

Total cost was $100 and it took 2 easy days to build it by myself. It rolls the car on it's side pretty easily with 2 people moving it, but it can be done with just one person (I did it myself the first time).

With 2 people, the car and rotisserie can be moved / dragged when everything is in the upright position.

I only had to drill 2 additional holes for bolts, all the other bolts (3/8" diameter) I put through existing holes - mainly for the bumpers.

It will make things much easier to work on the bottom of the car. Very happy with the out come!

That's pretty sweet! Definitely a different approach than I've seen before.

Ridiculous, it will never work....oh wait, it's brilliant! :-) :thumbs_up: Are you gonna use sandbags or something on those arms to make sure it doesn't roll back unexpectedly? Or does the weight of the car take care of that by itself?

[Doug Brown]

It stays up by itself, but I do have a pair of wedges that I put under the curved part to keep it in place.

I have to lower one of the long arms about an 1" to tilt the car a little more and to have both of the arms resting on the garage floor.

While it may look scary, it is really stable.

And failing all of that, sandbags are on the list.....

Now we just need you to start producing them on a mass scale for everyone....perhaps have them permanently mounted with a retractable feature and hydraulics, so we can do it anywhere, anytime by flipping a switch on the dash..... ;-)
