Chuck,
I have my car on a rotisserie now. It is stripped completely with
doors removed. I used
the bumper mounts on both ends. There is about a 3" drop from the
center of rotation
on the rotisserie to where the bolts go through the holding fixture
into the body.
This makes the car a little bit bottom heavy, but I can turn it
upside down with a
minimum of effort.(maybe 25-30 lbs.) Of course everything changes
everytime I
turn it upside down as 4-5 lbs. of rust and debris fall out. I hope
I live long enough to
see the fruits of my labor.
By the way listers, I'm having a hard time finding replacement
panels. I desperately
need a new trunk floor and wheelwell. Also the usual fender bottoms
etc. Thanks,
Clyde Ashton
