Nice job man. When I clicked on this video I was expecting to see a welding project. But it goes to show that with a little creativity and hard work you can accomplish anything.
Nice, i was considering repainting my 81 gsl but im super OCD so this opened a new avenue of restoring on a budget for me. Thanks again for the great content. Keep up the great work
Thanks for a great video. I have been wanting to buy a rotisserie but too much $$ is required. Could you do a video on how to build one or have a build sheet or something? Again, thanks for a really straight forward show.
I really like this! I have been working on a Chevelle. Thinking about a Tip over jig to finish the underside, Welding and Stripping, etc. With out help. I would be in a dangerous position. I did price out some metal, the cost came out more then manufactured rotisserie
I thought about doing it in steel, but ran into the same issue, wood was the best budget option. the rx7 chassis is super light so I wasn't too worried about it being strong enough, a chevelle body, even with the full front clip off, and no interior is much heavier, let me know what you come up with!
Good going. Nice post production. As i have been approaching the building of a rotisserie, I have been trying to come up with some kind of process for Guestimating the "through line" or the imaginary line through the car on which it would rotate in balance. Its not easy on atypical asymmetrically shaped unibody cars (63 Rambler American 2 door wagon). At the same time I am pondering how to get my car from rotisserie to trailer and back as my blasting and epoxy source is 100 miles away. I dont think a 100 mile ride with a rotisserie mounted car on a trailer is a grand idea,. Seeing the simplicity of your rig, though did give me an idea. Thanks so much for sharing
Yea I built my rotisserie to not be mobile. That adds a whole new level of design to the system. It is somewhat trial and error as well if you don't build adjustment into the system.
My thoughts were if the center connection is simply linear, its not going to do a ton unless its angle braced at the ends to the uprights. In my medium of wood. A 2x2 or 4x4 steel bar will be stronger if the system is steel, I just used the large base of the rear to stabilize it in the horizontal direction
@@RADPotentialThank you so very much!!! I'll keep your ideals at mind when i start my rotisserie its a great system and while on a budget this makes for money saved👍
So many dumb, uninformed automotive DIY videos on RUclips. This is NOT one of them. Nice job relating an intelligent design and a thorough grasp of what you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it. Well done!
Can you publish the mounting / offset of the bumper mount. You stated 8-10 " in the front and in line on the rear. Or draw out the mounts. That will greatly help all. (and me) Thanks
Doesn't it need to be higher than half the width? Technically it needs to be mounted higher than the square root of half the width plus half of the height to clear the ground.
I would say in most cases the body wider than it is tall. if you have a more vertical window area, the longest distance from the center of rotation will be to the outside corner of the roof. on the rx7 the widows tilt inward enough that the longest distance from the center of rotation is at the horizontal width of the car.
Yes, he should have added the other dimension of the rectangle and then measured from the center of rotation to one of the corner’s and used the Pythagorean formula to calculate the height. It appears he got lucky and the extra 6” he added was enough. Now he wishes he had actually paid attention in math class. 😂
Hello Am truly interested by your rotisserie.am a classic s cars restorer from france.Ive noticed you re pretty good at rotary engines.How could we stay on touch and try to make some trades together cause am searching for junks classic s cars from fifties to seventies.Have a good day phil the Scottish guy from france.See ya
DUDE this was so helpful thank you! I think you have potential to blow up for sure I love the style of your videos.
Thanks for the info! I'm glad you went into some physics and engineering on how you did it 👍🏼
Very informative, good illustrations, multiple cameras, and a solid editing job! You crushed it.
Thank you sir!!! Hard to go into a number dimension when everyone's rotisserie would be different.
This is awesome! I think you just saved me about 4000 bucks on Amazon!

Yes! Thank you so very much my friend.
This is very informative and will help me building a Roti-sserie.
Excellent video. I plan to build one and I have learned allot from you here.
Thank you
good of you to share your knowledge
Good work! Cant wait to see it in action.
Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing this it is a keeper!
Well done buddy. Your video is more than just how to build. Cheers and keep it up.
after watching entire video i did learn something valuable thanks for your contribution of your knowledge on this
Great explanation young man! Best of luck on your project!
Thank you sir!!!!! Its getting final body panel fitted this weekend, then the stickers go on and its ready to rock!!!
VERY VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
Well done, good explanation and it worked out very practical too.
Great video keep up the good work
Great video. Good tips.
You're a big help good job kid

Thanks This i can do'
Thanks for posting this video!, you explain all the critical points great!, I give you a like and subscribe to your Channel too!
nice contents friend
Great video didn't know it would be possible to stabilize a vehicle without a center connection on the rotisserie.

I just need to find a bunch of money and have you and Calvin go to town on my 80.
That could be arranged at some point. Need to catch up
How did you mount It to the rotisserie
do you have the plans for this still
Can you publish the mounting / offset of the bumper mount. You stated 8-10 " in the front and in line on the rear. Or draw out the mounts.
That will greatly help all. (and me)
Thanks
Yea. I will measure it and pin a comment
My project car is a 1977 trans am

you have more smarts that most of the MIT grads around
They don't teach common sense in school anymore!
Boa noite! Você teria esse cálculo por escrito?

Metal is cheaper than wood since the pandemic
Ah lee LoI
Wood isnt that cheap anymore
Comen sense stuff not philosify
