DIY Rotisserie

[Johan_CS2800]

I'm exited about the rotisserie I made for the uncoming bodywork.

Here's why:
- it took me a just a couple of days to assemble
- it's a rotisserie and a dolly
- it supports the car at the right mounting points, not at the ends (bumper-points) of the car like many other rotisseries
- it's about the same price as a classic rotisserie
- it's easy adjustable for other cars, without the need of welding. Just loosen screws, adjust positions of mounting points and retighten.
- most classic cars will fit: De Tomaso's, Ford GT40, Porsches,....

That's why I'm sharing this with you guys. If someone some day wants to make the same thing, just let me know and I can send the Sketchup-file.

Anyway, after a period of departing the car and making this thing, I can finally start on the adventure of the bodywork!

Really nice Johan!

That looks really sturdy and very easy to work with. Kudos!

i really like the look of that Johan - much more than the typical ones with end mounting that i have seen. looks very stable. so who makes it?

This one I made myself.
It’s not entirely DIY. I found a firm that sells the bended tubes as half circles.
I can send my drawings if you’re interested.

But there’s a french company that makes something similar: Lefort
