Yes, I have alot trouble with that word too.
I built one for the frame and one for the cab rust repairs, to me it`s the best way to weld up a front frame clip and also to repair rusty inner/outer cab corners and sections of the floor especially with butt welding.

Check out http//www.harwoodperformance.bizland.com/ this is the one I was planning to build, I also have the one you mention in my favourites but this one I mentioned is engineered to hold a 5000 lb vehicle more than you'd want to have rolling around in your shop.

Guy's:
I was going to build my own, I went to the Streetrod Nationals in Louisville Ky; I bought one there for $630 show special. I don't think I could have gotten the steel and put my time in it for 600 bucks. The guy that makes the rotisseries is in Indiania, he goes around to all events. He said it would hold a 59 Caddy, I figured it would hold my 47 Ford coupe.

A show I went to here a guy had a car frame with an engine stand bolted on each end so he could do sandblasting and painting on it. Was a pretty clever and relatively cheap setup (he said he just used the $30-$40 Harbor Freight engine stands). Had the engine attach points bolted to a plate of steel that he then bolted to the end cross members of the frame. Probably not nearly strong enough for a whole body, but for just a frame it looked pretty good.

Engine Stands
Yeah, that would work for a frame, I've seen small bodies (Model A, 37's) I think anything larger would be stretching it. A good engine stand says 1000lb limit. You could try doing that for a frame.
I took a bunch of pictures of a buddy's home made rotisserie, I could send them to you, since I bought one, I don't have any need for the pictures.

At least that`s what I`m hoping it is for me.

This is a great shot and similar to my cradle except I mounted the cab by the cab mounts.
It`s not easy to do mount it that way but it did save showing off my lack of body work skill.
