311 Economy Rotessiere

OK, over a year after I made mention of my economy body rotessiere, and Steve asking for a write up, I have finally got the body on it and took some pic's. Steve, you can move this if you think it should be located somewhere else. Here goes-

First off, I purchased a couple of basic engine stands from Harbor Freight (a local bargain tool supply house) for $40.00 each. As shipped, these are set up to hold an engine back at an angle, which would not work if you are trying to spin 2 of them at the same time. the solution I used was to level the pivot and then measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the stand. I then went to the local hardware store to get some swivel casters as close as possible to the dimension needed. In my case, I found the exact size needed, but if you don't, spacers could easily be made. You will want to get the type that has a 1/2" threaded stud so you can drill the bottom of the stand and attach the casters to the stand with a hex nut. Make sure to get a good quality model that will withstand the load of the body.

This same setup was used on the frame when I stripped it and painted it. Made it a piece of cake! One other thing I made for it is some wheels for the frame so when it is not on the rotesserie, I can have a portable body dolly to move it around on. This can be seen in the pic's as the 2" tube steel that is welded to the frame that has the wheel mounts welded on. The wheels are removed to allow the assembly to rotate-minor miscalculation.
