Well at least the list is shrinking ....

Haha - I don't know actually.

Haha - no. It's the US Car Tool DIY kit - it has all the hardware, just buy, cut, weld your HSS. I bought it on kijiji 5 -6 years ago from a lady who divorced a guy with an unfinished 280z project (true story ??). http://store.uscartool.com/car-rotisserie-kit.html

And "...that's your rotisserie? LOL, facepalm emoji ...."

Your ride looks awesome! Congrats!
-
Hey SGt! Welcome to the forum! I am in Calgary! Tell us more about your ride!

Very! In theory everything should be unloaded so that there is nothing to release but ... I've been pretty careful to try to minimize any tension/compression in the metal while welding the rails and the rockers...but there has been a lot of heat and thermal stress. A key piece of work will be to inspect all the spot welds (to make sure none popped) when it is on the rotisserie. Then seam weld everything (Maybe back on the jig)
-
Interesting piece ... seems a bit pricey but I guess we'll find out
-
- I hadn't thought about it like that! Hopefully ?
-
Back in business .... Rails and rad support "complete". She's probably finally strong enough to consider switching from the jig to a rotisserie ???

For @wheee! ...because people never post their fails ??? My rad support is slightly thicker than factory and it is about 1.5 mm farther forward than factory (oops), So the front edge is just over 2mm farther forward than factory. Turns out that is really important .... ????

Truth! ???
-
@Patcon - Agreed 100%
-
Yup - love me some Clecos! One thing that doesn't get discussed often: how many times does a part get attached/detached/re-attached before it gets welded in place? I might be slow, but I probably average 6 - 10 cycles, maybe more ....

What? It looks great! Keep the faith brother - you are nearing the home stretch!
-
And moved on to putting the final touches on the radiator support.... I welded the new rad support in some time ago but I wasn't happy with the upper brace ends so I cut them out and started over .... Went with dimples instead of beads, (for no particular reason?) Still need to some fitting, trimming and hammer/dolly work, but I am happier with the direction this is going ....
