Well, I'm done using my Rotisserie - YEA!!!
Next stop: Paint shop (after just a couple of more "tweaks" to the tub & bonnet)
Anyone who can use it and make their way to Milford, MI (30 Minutes NW of Detroit), is welcome to it. We can come to a most agreeable price once someone expresses interest.
It's a pretty cool design (my own!). Modular. The tub stays on its cradle when not suspended. The cradle has wheels so it can be moved around the shop and out of the way when not working on the tub. The truss section also has wheels, so the whole thing is mobile, even while work is in process. The truss folds flat when not in use, so it can be laid flat up against a wall or, as we did, suspended from the ceiling - completely out of the way. It's made of wood and quite over designed. To use it though, you must have the ability to lift or hoist the tub/cradle up so it can be plugged into the trusses. It's not perfect, but it "is" amazingly close to perfect considering that I designed it from scratch and while away from the car (try THAT someday). It served me very well for the couple of years that I needed it.
I don't have a photo site to give you links, but if anyone is interested I'll email some shots to you right away. You're welcome to call me as well: 904-386-6139.
I'll be in Milford this weekend if you want to stop by. The project moves on to its next phase: Rolling chassis, mating the rebuilt T50 5 speed tranny to the rebuilt modified MK II engine and hopefully fitting and welding the new rear engine mount (Tranny) into the chassis.
WISH ME LUCK!!!
Ciao - Jim
