No Car Rotisserie? NO PROBLEM! Just Build Your Own

Restoring the underside of a classic car can be a COMPLETE PAIN -- specifically in the neck and arms. On our 1951 Ford Crestliner, here's how we addressed this problem for almost no cost. Subscribe to follow along as we restore this vintage Shoebox to like-new condition.

Why wouldnt you just.. close the welds?

[@AutoEsoterica]

The welds are closed (aside from a couple that still need to be touched up). The filler is only to make things look pretty, to even out any irregularities.

All it takes is 2 wheel assemblies, old boat trailer off of craigs list will work to make a rotisserie.

Nice rotisserie you have made here. If you want to build a better one this is what you do!!. Take two car spindles are trailers spindle put a brake rotor on it backwards then weld a 4 x 2 steel beam and attach this to a engine stand of course you will have to LinkedIn the legs of the engine stand put you a small crank wheel on it by hand can a bicycle brake pad slow it down from going around too fast or to stop it. And you will need a weld some kind of a beam between the two engine stands to keep them from tipping over inward!. And then it's🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 time😅😅😅

Do you think from factory they will put Bondo across the weld seams judging by what I can see it's honestly a classic car and if it is then obviously this is a restoration but why do something that would not have came from factory because that is no longer a restoration cuz from factory those world seems would have been just painted over they will not have put Bondo on them

Have you ever had a dream that that you um you had you'd you would you could you'd do you wi you wants you you could do so you you'd do you could you you want you want him to do you so much you could do anything?

[@nikolasbergeron9942]

The seams on most older American cars at least, they tacked the seams together and then slathered seam sealer over them.

[@AutoEsoterica]

I don't care about being 100% authentic. Some people make sure the bolt heads have the right finish, and that's great, but I couldn't care less. The Bondo is merely cosmetic to fill in any ugly spots or weld seams.

Sir, Did You Say Bondo?!?

[@AutoEsoterica]

Indeed, I did! Just a little wipe of filler to make some of the already-welded seams look pretty.
