Homemade Rotisserie

[onuthin]

This is one of my first projects since I finished my welding class last month.It is built out of two x-ray machines,1 I-beam,casters,sign post poles,and an assortment of nuts and bolts.All donated except nuts and bolts.Total cost 25.00 dollars.It is totally adjustable for length and the bar at the top is adjustable for heigth to hold lights and for support.

Pretty sweet man!! you should see how I flipped my car over. I didn't have a rotisserie so after it was gutted I had it sand blasted and we sat it on a bed matrice and tipped it on its side!! pretty funny pics you should look in my gallery!!!! But anyway, looking good!!

Nice job! That one has some meat on it. Price was right too! When you get your car on it post some more pics.

That is such a creative piece of artwork - that it deserves to be painted one color - Snap-On Red... then maybe some accent's of white...

That's cool! I've built four rotisserie's for working on customer cars and don't own any of them. Every time the customer comes to pick up their car they insist on buying the rotisseries its on. I should just stop working on cars and make rotisseries...

Out of curiosity would you even want to put a completed car on a rotisserie? I thought they were only for shells.

I thought they were only for shells.

Correct. The cars that I've had on rotisseries for customers have not had any driveline components or interiors. They are generally on rotisseriers for rust repair, installing roll bars and/or cages, suspension upgrades, and racing fuel cells.

Makes sense. When you said "pick up their car" I didn't realize you were being quite literal.

I know this is an old thread but... John, is it possible to post parts, etc. needed to be able to make your own rotisserie. I am not lucky enough to have access to old x-ray machines etc.
