Good day, My car has been on the rotisserie for ten plus years and I finally got it media blasted, epoxied and some base coat done. Now I can start to build it. I want to install the front suspension (less hubs and rotors), rear suspension (less rotors) rear sway bar pedal cluster and brake lines, wiring harness, dashboard and steering rack. Then I’ll take of the rotisserie for the rest. My rotisserie use the bumper holes for mounting.What do you guys think? Would it be to heavy?

While my car was on the rotisserie, I installed everything that would need to be installed from under the car except the drive train. That essentially was suspension (including stub axles, front hubs, rotors and wheels), steering, and brakes. I seem to recall installing the main wire harness in the engine bay and through the firewall just because it was convenient to be able to stand up while doing it. My chassis was mounted to the rotisserie through bumper mounts only and I didn't feel like it was close to causing any problems. The bigger issue for me was trying to keep the weight down for getting the car off the rotisserie. That was a royal butt clencher but was nice to have tires on in case something went south. It actually all went quite smoothly but I was sure glad when it was done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
