Interesting. I imagine it rolls poorly on the gravel.

So you roll the whole thing? How's the cab attached?

Do what you can with what you got. I like it. I have a forklift and a skid loader, they'd make using this easier but I don't think it would be too hard to maneuver if you have an extra person to help.

I remember seeing one that you can buy that bolts to the front & rear wheel hubs.
You pull the wheels on 1 side and bolt on plates to this same type of unit.

I kind of built my own, sort of. I bought a homemade rotisserie from guy who built is specifically for his car, I think a Studebaker. I added adjustable body brackets and a locking index wheel so I could rotate the car at any angle.

You are correct Sir. I used a couple 2x8x16's to roll it out. It was tall enough to keep me in the shade, so I spun it around several times as time passed.

I had finished welding the front cab mounting brackets thinking I was going to be building a rotisserie, when I found a video on a tip over jig. Seemed pretty easy to me, so wella, there it is. And just like every other guy trying out his new jig, I cringed as the cab start to roll. Crazy thing works like a charm. Enjoy the rest of your morning 49'er.
