Cheap adjustable rotisserie idea

Recommended Posts

Can't remember who was looking for a cheap rotisserie but this guy in my Z club used two cheap Harbor Freight motor stands modified. 

Car has been in it for 9 years now. He says he's climbed in it to weld and such. He plans on putting bigger casters on it to wheel it up on a trailer to transport for paint. 

Just an idea.

Spit Roast all the Datsun 240/260Z's, chickens, and BMW 2002's. Mine could definitely benefit from a good spit roasting, that's for sure!

I built mine from scratch but in the same configuration, before moving it on a trailer it will be much easier if you tie the front stand to the rear, I used a 2x2  piece of steel and u bolted it to the tongues of the stands otherwise the stands will try to twist putting load on the ends of the car.  

If everybody in the room is thinking the same thing, then someone is not thinking.

That must b a z-car thing- A very long- ago friend also made a contraption like that,

and when we met up (randomly) last year, he STILL had it on the rotisserie.  We figured it 

has been like that for 22 years.  His is black, tho.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
