Rolled my 56 panel this morning




And I'm pleased there was no damage. I built this rotisserie while off work in August and I'm quite pleased at how well it works, now I can finnish up a few things and spray on the box liner before mating it back on the frame.

I got lucky when bolting it up, it was sitting at the perfect height for balance, it's takes very little effort to turn it.

Same measurements in back more pictures.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

I had finally convinced myself that I couldn't do that with my 48 Panel.
Thanks for proving this Old Guy wrong

I'll take some more pictures tomorrow after I get home from work and post. I did measure from the floor to the top of the panel 94" so it would be tight in an 8 ft garage. I put a material list in my gallery entitled rotissirie, I'll try to improve it soon.

The back is hanging off 3/8's grade 5 bolts that I'm hoping is sufficient, the shops not far from the house so if they fail I should hear it when it lands

This is the best I can do for now will make a better sketch and post it in my gallery,it's ideas I got from several I viewed on the web. I still have to put an adjuster on the top slide portion.

Yeah, I'm with the guys that were scared. I saw rolled and panel i the same sentence, I started to stress. Great looking unit, should make things really easy. Get a patent on it quick, and sell the prints to a body shop supplier.
