I wanted to make this post on hopes that it might help someone planning a restoration of their spridget. I had been researching plans to build a body otisserie so that I could strip and repaint the bottom of my BE. I found links to plans using two engine stands, one with 4x4 posts secured to rafters and one using a simple frame.
I decided to try the simple frame made of a 48"x48" piece of 3/4" plywood and 5 2x4s. Total cost was roughly $50. I spent around 2 hours today building the frame and mounting my stripped shell into it. I was able to flip the car on its side then onto its back by myselft with little effort.
I plan to post some pics for thos who havent seen one of these. Until then here's the link to the plans and original pictures.
