Technical Car rotisserie's Anybody dare to build there own??

Any plans for that awesome contraption??? I dig it!!

 

I bought a homemade one great deal and its heavy duty.

 

I build my own few yrs ago.It worked fine with my '51 shoebox body.I think i spend something like 450 bucks for that build.It needed some lathework too,but i was able to do it at the work after the working hrs.I dont have any plans,sorry.I dont usually draw anything,just take some measurements on the paper and thats it.

 

I built this in 2009. The spindles are made from a 1968 olds cutl*** axle that I sacrificed for the project, there is a sealed bearing inserted inside the cut ends. The worm gear/crank ***embly came from a harbor freight boat winch. The cylinders were new from NAPA. I used 3/16 wall tube on the major structure, 1/8 on the body attachments. I think a lot of rotisseries are made from 1/8 steel, I just wanted to be sure that my lack of engineering expertise didn't cause a failure. Its height , width and length are adjustable, and the body mounts are easily interchangeable with a 5x4.75 bolt pattern on the axle flanges. The largest body I have had on it so far is a 1955 Belair hardtop.
It wasn't super cheap to build, there was over $500 into it, but I got all of the features I wanted and it takes up a relatively small footprint in my shop, when broken down.

I like this one

 

Mine looks like that but I bought it. At the time I was working in a steel fab shop, had bought the Rams started cutting brackets , but decided in the end it would be cheaper and quicker just buy one and move on (ebay ). More time fixing less time making things
