Re: mounting a cab on a rotisserie? anyone?
Solver,
I won't know for sure about any cab shift issues for a couple weeks for sure, when I put the doors on, but.....
One of the reasons for the 3rd wheel is when I disconnect the ends from each other, they can sit upright and not fall. I used this for the frame when I first built it and late one night, the "motor" end fell over, trapping my arm and me on the floor....I thought my arm was broken......
The other is to reduce the inward stress from gravity.
Before I cut out any metal, I did A LOT of squaring and measuring from the cross bars and jotted the figures down. While welding it back in, I checked and rechecked all figures. It seems that all the measurements are OK, but the true test will be door fit.
The front is connecetd to the door hinges and the back to the striker plate holes (big fender washers inside).
I have only used it for my son's frame and and cab. A friend of mine wants to be next in line. Last year he bought a one owner COPO Camaro and wants me to build a rack for the body. I AM SCARED TO DEATH OF THAT!!!!!! Eventually, my 78 2wd stepside will hang from it.
I havent taken measurements yet......my problem being my wing it as you go fab skills......that usually bites me in the behind!!!!!
Take care,
Misled
