:tongue:As much as this forum hate my attempt to upload pictures, I'll try again... I have my car mostly disassembled, from the shifter forward, aside from removing the engine. This week I purchased a nice hobart mig welder, a new torque wrench, a 4.5 inch angle grinder with cutting disks and sanding flap wheels, I still get to go next week and spend another $250-300 on my first welding gas cylinder for the mig welder. I have rust in the drivers side front floor/toe panel, and 1 spot in each sill. I plan to build a rotisserie. If for nothing else than to be able to degrease and paint the bottom. At this moment I have no questions. Just updating my current status. I've blown through over $1000 just for tools in one week, and I almost don't have any left for parts.

I couldn't be more excited. :tongue:
 
Go buy two harbor freight engine stands and make your rotisserie out of them. Pick up the front and rear bumper mounts. Should cost a mear $100 to get it done.
best,

go buy some 2X4s and make the rotisserie out of them $25 and you can buy more tools. PM me if you need a rough plan if i haven already sent them.
 
Progress is progress -- and you don't blow through money for tools, you *invest* money for tools. At least that's what I tell myself. :grin:
 
Wood doesn't last long around here. Too wet and too many termites. (I'm still working outside). The HF engine stand idea sounds good, how high is the rotation centerline? I figured 3 ft would give me six inches on clearance from the ground when it's sideways.

I've looked at some of the wood rotisserie designs, including the ones where its just a way to roll it one direction. I'd rather have metal. At some point it'll be used on the Alfa too.
