Question Auto twirler

Has anyone ever used a rotisserie while restoring a vehicle? I`m thinking of getting one to help me complete some projects and was hoping to get some more info.

I was thinking that it would be a good investment.I`ll probably get a bare steel one too next year.

Working on EB's myself, definatly worth the investment. If I wasn't putting $4k in an engine build, I'd be buying one myself. You never see a used one for sale.

I bet there never will be either. I have not had to lay on my back much lately. When you are an old fart it make ya feel young again

The EB's fit like a dream with the frame inserts. You can lift them up w/o removing anything but the bumpers.
They make a nice bumper jack too they lift the front end up around 4" Here it is an action last winter. Another one of the 6 EB's in for a frame off restoration. (Never done)

I will have to get some more as we go.

Thanks Carlene. FTE is a great place I can't believe I never found it before now.

I have a 69 1/2 Cab from Colorado Springs we got it last fall. All original up for a frame off next winter if we finish the other 3 EB's all

The guy we got it from gave it to his kid, was Teal but the kid wanted to spray bomb it. Needless to say dad was pissed & sold it on Ebay... Now she awaits her turn in the Barn.

Share????

A cheaper way to go is get two decent engine stands, some steel square tube and make up your own if you can. I had seen drawings online before to do that.

Here is there Website: http://www.autotwirler.com/?gclid=CO...FQ_xDAodbl5unA

I kinda wish I got the green powder coated one


I looked at building my own I have 9 of 10 engine stands around here. All about 1/3 the size. You can fit a 57 caddy on one of these.






I would like to see the engine that fits one of these stands.
