Car on rotisserie and new floor

[Jerry Box]

Bought a rotisserie to put my car on

Now I can do a nice job on the floor plan

    That's one very nice heavy duty looking rotisserie that you have there.
     I couldn't help but notice in picture #698 that there is a round plate on the left rear of the car.
Is that the remnants of an old whip antenna?   Is there a chance that your car might have been an old police car? .  Thanks  Jay

Sharp eye Jay....wouldn't one of those be cool.
Jerry very nice setup...that rotiserie is going to take all kinds of time off that restoration....money well spent. The rust areas on your car look very similar to what I started with, and it certainly looks like your getting ready to do it right.

Jerry, Looks like you got a nice unit there.I was looking into some car lifts,but That might be a better option.Would you mind letting us know what they run and how you happened to pick that one.I am hoping to have my ranchero going that direction in the spring.
                                                                      Thanks Al

I don't know if it was a police car but it has holes that have been patched up front by the windshield where they would've had spotlights to. I bought the rotisserie from dave@carotator.com for $1295.00 very nicely built all 4 inch square 3/16 thick and made in USA and I just like it.

Beautiful car, those rims and caps look good on it.

It does look great, but hard to believe it's the same car as the rotisserie pictures.

Thanks Jerry,good to know.I do think I will go that way.Wow that car sure came a long way since I was on here a couple hours ago.Looks Good.
                                             Thanks Al

I guess what Al said made the point better than what I said..those last pics look like a car that just came off a rotiserie instead of going on.

Yup...we know what a good looking exterior can hide........

[Jerry Box]

That right I had no idea it was like this the pictures they sent me and all the under coating you could not tell. But it is ok with me this way I will know what I have. And I like working on the old car.

I'd like to have a rotisserie, probably second on the list to a lift. I should help my buddy with his Chevy 2, then steal his rotisserie!

Yep, gotta agree, having had a rotisserie in the past that I (stupidly) sold and then having used a body roller on the Ranchero (the sort that bolt under the body and have a curved arm to allow the body to be rolled on its side), the rotisserie wins easily.  The one I had was home made which meant you couldn't adjust the centre of gravity, get it wrong and when you start to roll the body, it just "goes" and you have to let go or it'll take you with it!

If I get another rotisserie (if/when I find a 57 wagon.....) I'll mount castor wheels on it so I can get the whole thing onto the trailer to haul the body to the shot blasters.

Started the floor repair. I got the rear left side cut out and new floor panel welded in. It take a long time welding it in I am seam welding every thing. My first time welding thin metal you have to go slow and jump around.
