Rotisserie at last!

Finally got my chassis to a point where it can leave the table (I hope).

After seeing the various threads with ingenious methods of gaining access to the chassis for finishing off, I got my r$ in gear and put mine on The Spit!

Makes life so much easier

Comments welcome (be gentle!)

cool well done, life is a lot easier when you can rotate the car, especially painting the underside

Hi

If, as it looks from the photo, the chassis is suspended from the front only, I'd be concerned with regard to the loads you will be introducing into the front assembly and also the risk of toppling as the CofG shifts as you rotate. As you build these issues will become progressively more significant.

If I've completely missed the point please ignore my 'twaddle'.

Regards Mick

I thought that but I think there's a tripod at the back.

Well done that man. A very nice job. Being able to rotate the frame to any angle makes welding and panelling so much easier. I don't know how I would have managed without it.

Damn it! Saw through my ploy! I was going to spout allsorts of garbage about trick of the light and stuff Yup, I was always taught, 'if in doubt, build a Tripod'

Mix, nothing wrong with a bit of twaddle now and then, as long as you take ice with it

Thanks for the comments guys.
