I wanted to do a complete restoration on my 71 celica so i started checking out the prices on a car rotisserie .
WOW!!! cheapest I found was 1300.00. So I started pricing out the material to build one, I have a welder ad the time so why not..
the metal would cost around 550.00 plus ii would need to buy wheels,hyd. lift cylinder etc.
This is my solution , I spotted a habor freight flyer in a hotrod mag which had an engine hoist on sale for 99.00.
I measured the material the hoist had and decided to purchase 2 of them. I stopped by the metal shop and purchased some 4" / 1/4 flat plate metal and
4" id round tubing and other piece of tubing that would fit secure inside and still rotate. if I can figure out how to post the pictures they will be able to tell the tale better than I.http://s1261.photobucket.com/albums/ii588/MC1Auto/

Hi,

The pics attachment steps are in the intro. Take your time and read through. Funny I spent like 30mins before I got the hang of it. Send those pics. You're right. They do tell the tale better.

Cheers Man.

I'll post a few here for you

Thank You . How Did ya do That ?

As you cab see she needs some work. The engine bay has been sandblasted and painted , and now that is mounted on the rotisserie I can knock out the bottom side "Repair the small bits of rust ETC."
