hey chris, that looks great!
one thing i was always worried about when using a rotisserie is bodyflex due to a weak chassis (what? rust on my 914???). especially when the longs are rusted. inspired by the GT bracing for the roof, i think one could build a X-Brace for the top with a sheer-joint (red dot), mounted (bolted) to the rear targa latch mount on one end and the front sunvisor mounting on the other. if the rods had fully adjusteable hime-joints (like the droplinks on a sway bar) you could fine-tune the top gap using the second pic below as a reference ... what-chya-all think?

Hi, This is my first post, I down loaded a Rotisserie Building Instructions from Automoblie Atlanta. It looked fairly simple. Attached is the location: http://autoatlanta.com/tech/rotisserie_build.html

I don't like the idea of using the windshield frame for that. Better would be to add a diagonal push/pull rod to the braces I have, that attaches at the upper hinge bracket on one side and the latch bracket on the other. The upper door braces adjust the "f" dimension and a single diagonal would be sufficient to adjust the "x" dimension. |

I got a simple online shipping quote of about $150 to send one of my rotisseries to Phoenix, AZ for example. Actual cost might be slightly less.
If I had five orders I could do them for $750 each, plus shipping. For ten orders I would cut the price to $700. I would need $300 downpayment each. I don't take credit cards or Paypal. |

Be careful how much you preload your door braces. I found out the hard way how week/strong the door stryker area was (not very). It does work however. We loaded the chassis another 5mm's past the resting position.
It looks nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) I'm VERY surprised Perry didnt see it was a 75 tub... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) B |

If it's a 75, then it's Viper Green Metallic. One of the more uncommon colors. I need a good picture of a Metallic Green six.

Chris, Thanks for the info.... unfortunately I do not have that kind of coin right now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) but from what I can see your rotisserie's are top notch.
I guess the question still is what is the effect of using a rotisserie with a car with rust issues, longs floor pans et all? My guess is that you would want to make all long repairs BEFORE you take on anything else.... Am I right... Bueller...Bueller ? <_< |
