Rotisserie

Just found this thread and thought I'd share my rotisserie, the common two engine stand variety, with you. If you go with engine stands, I'd suggest the 4 wheel version for stability. Do plan on replacing the casters with something larger...I believe mine are 4 1/2".

As far as mounting the body to the rotisserie, the front was no problem for my car (Mk II Sprite) but the rear presents the problem. I needed to replace the trunk floor pan and do some hammer and dolly work and patching on the rear valance. My solution is pictured below. You can see several photos to draw ideas from at:

Hope this helps,

Compleated my rotisserie on Saturday. Except for the casters and the HF winch, I built if out of stuff I had around the shop. The tires are on the car because this is the first time I attached it and wasn't sure that I wouldn't have to put it back on the floor. Worked fine though.

nice - it looks like you've got good stiffness with two bars through (the "spindle") - I should have connected my two ends at floor level but I'm not sure you'll need to. congrats!
