Some where I have information on a commercial body rotator, but a much
easier (and cheaper) solution is to make two oversized "A" frames, like
engine stands and bolt a couple of pieces of channel iron between and bolt
the whole mess up on it. I did this on my TR3 tub and it worked great. Put
castors underneath it and you can push it around the shop at will.

Subject: Re: rolling GT6 over??
there is a company that made a "stand" for a car that attatched to the
front and back of the car and you could rotate it to do work. This
of course was with the drivetrain remove. This thing made restoration
on a unibody car alot easier( I saw this done on a 240Z ). As far
as rolling sure if you like replacing body panels.
