**WTB a used Auto Rotisserie**

[cencalc6]

Looking to buy a used Auto Rotisserie for my 69 Camaro.

[Ketzer]

You and me both. It's a tough call on wether to build my own or buy one done. Most of the used ones I've seen, haven't been much of a bargain. I had a chance to buy a home-built one locally, it was built to spin a tank but my money and timing wern't right.

It is too bad that you are in CA. I have a whirly Jig Pro that I like to sell. I have all the accessories for first gen Camaro. Mount stiffener and Camaro brackets. As for the hydraulic cylinders, then you have to buy some new ones. We used the harbor freight ones, but I think we had to replace 3 of them. Anyway, here is the company. http://www.whirlyjig.com/ Shipping would be to much, based on the current gas prices.

One thing nice about the whirlyjig is that you can turn the car, and lock into place with the shure lock. So, you are not limited by the angle, so you can do 180 or 270 or what ever you want. The other Rotisseries don't seem to have this feature. For example, the photo below is locked in at that angle. You don't want to spin freely. I sell it for $1100 with all accessories. Can you buy a cheaper one? Yes. Whirly Jig is the only rotisseries that keeps the car in parallel, basically you have 2 bars for support. See the other rotisseries use a single bar for support.

I ended up buying one from Metro Lifts off ebay. I have been very pleased with it so far. It has all the adjustments and stops everyone talks about. Was $975 plus shipping.

You did a very nice job on the floors

Excellent Fab work on your project

Thanks, I post my thread up again. We have close to 2 years in the floors. That Whirly Jig is great, because of the ability set it different degrees of rotation. I had this little craftsman stool, so it made it rather nice. My one friend gave a several different grinders to use, but at times it look like I was porting heads.

I've got an extra I bought off of Mr. Weld a few years back. It's ugly, very heavy duty, but shipping might be an issue

Thank You! I've never done a project as major as this. I am learning as I go.

Mine has the long threaded rod with a hand wheel on top for adjusting the "balance". This works really well. Mine also has the spring loaded pin that goes through holes in a circular plate every few degrees to hold it in any position. Both are really neat features you should look for if you can.
