I actually thought I was gonna have to give someone a txt to help me weld the bits together, since its been about 3 years since I last welded something.....but most of them turned out damn good

the rotisserie wont go all the way upside down.....but it can go all the way 90deg which is all you need.

the rotisserie wont go all the way upside down

[datsunboy]

because its not high enough off the ground.

Mate im telling you forget the wire wheel and go find someone who will do sand blasting for a cashy job.
$280 every thing that could be sand blasted was stripped back to bare steel under body engine bay inner door edges round the screens interior you name it if it wouldn't bend it got blasted. For that price its piece of mind knowing if there was any cancer hiding in there its been blasted away.
Plus you don't have to worry about digging holes with the wire wheel.
Good progress though good to see your doing the job right.
I'll try get those diagrams photo copied for you.

yeah the whole car will be soda blasted or paint stripped. have talked to a guy already.....I was just bored, and wanted to get some progress made on it lol
