Hot Rods Modified Murray - Race to the road! Progress in Review!

That's cool rotisserie!

 

Man, you should rent this thing out when you are not using it.

 

HAHA! I was waitin' for someone to say that...

 

Looking great scooter!! nice rotisserie!!

 

looks good man. Beats the hell out of nearly any of the other options...and like you said, a ton easier on the back... If i may ask (and i may have missed it, what are your roll diameters? and other then more triangulation and the eventual scrub brake, what would you change in the second revision?

Cant wait to see the car finished up

 

Thanks man!

The tubing is 1-1/2" x .120" wall tubing. The outside diameter is 72".

I wouldn't change much for the design itself for the type of stuff I do at the shop (nothing heavier than a 53 Pontiac frame... MAYBE a 53 Pontiac body). Diameter is fine as well. Would maybe make the feet 6x6 instead of 4x4?? It stands up by itself without the spokes in it, but with the spokes and nothing mounted to the spokes it will tip over with the 4x4x1/4 plates on the feet. No problem at all when the "subject piece" is mounted to the hoops. But yeah, just mostly the simple brake that will get added and some triangulation for future projects so the hoops don't move around as easily.

I have to say, I would be super reluctant to roll hoops like this again without a powered tubing roller! TON of work!

 

Nice rig................. you can reverse paint runs now.

 

absolutly bad ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Ever notice those big cable spools on the trailers behind the Power Company service trucks?

 

HAHA!!! SWEEEET!! I didn't think of that, Bob!! Great idea!

 

Or just tilt your work 'till the run puddles and let it pool!

 

Thanks for the info man....As for the getting the Pontiac on there, tell Brando to get her own..HAHA The shop I work at has a hydraulic set of rolls, so if I go this route, I can do it there haha

 

Dude that thing is awesome! great job!

 

Actually the '53 isn't my Sis'. I've got a '53 Poncho of my own to build after this is on the road. Then a banger project after that. Somewhere in there I need to get our '35 Coupe finished up as well. Figured with all that on the agenda, that a rotisserie would be worth owning.

 

You keep building tools and detailing and I am gunna catch up to you! putting roller together this week!

 

OH MAN! BOOOOO!!! Now I REALLY feel like a loser!

 

The rotisserie is really cool. Until you showed it all assembled, I had imagined that you were just going to roll the hoops around on the floor. In hindsight, that doesn't seem like it would have been very successful.

Excellent!

 

hahaha, I shoulda known..Youre about as bad as me....Too many I want to build

 

Hey Scott, I just went through all your build threads once again and I have to say everytime I go through them I get a ton more ideas and it all ways clears up questions I have about my own build, you did one hell of a job building and documenting your car! thanks man

 

Hey thank you! Glad it was of some value to someone! That makes all the posting worth it! Hope your build is going well!

S

 

Hey scott....any assembly pics ? Looks good man !

 

Not yet! Getting close! Labor day weekend has officially gone on the calender as chassis assembly dates!!!! WOOHOO!!!

I ordered the paint yesterday!!! I wish I could explain how excited I am to be to the stage of ordering color! Primer will go on the chassis tomorrow and color as soon it comes in! Have to juggle all this with family coming in and a million other things!!! GAH! Head is spinning!

 

C'mon man get you family to help!!!!

 

A good brother of mine and I have been planning for a very long time to do a weekend jam session on this car. A long overdue visit combined with some weekend jamming is gonna' happen for sure!

 

Scott,Going to be nice to see it in paint.

 

Okay! Getting REALLY close to another milestone! The frame, after TONS of sanding and prep work, is finally in PRIMER! I have some block work to do, and a couple touch-up spots including where the front rotisserie mount is, but other than that, it's ready to get color!! WOOHOO!

Here's another SMURFY primer update!







Outside in the light...

 

Looks great Scott. That blue is retina burning.

 

You should just roll with the primer.

 

The car is awesome!
Now, gotta ask, is the blue primer specifically needed for the final color or was it just luck of the draw?

.

 

damn the pics you sent me on my phone just dont do it any justice! looking good!
