Monunting on a Rotisserie
« on: July 24, 2007 - 10:20:48 AM »
Ok we picked up a 1971 Cuda and have a Whirly Jig Pro Rotisserie on the way. Any tips on mating them together? Any extra braing that need to be done to the frame or body? Or is it just as simple as bolt is on and spin  :clapping:

No sheet metal will be cut from the car other them part of the passanger rocker panel.

When I mounted mine, I just bolted the front using the existing front bumper mounting holes in the car.   The back, is the same but I had to weld a mounting plate to the rotisserie.  Getting the car centered on the spin axis is key to letting is spin easy.  This will put the car fairly high off the ground.

The level of rust and what work you are doing will dictate what bracing you need to do.  Post what you intend on replacing.  :thumbsup:

 :iagree: Pretty much the same for me.  I left mine a little bottom heavy, but it spins pretty easy.

Yep, see my post in the members resto area, I have pics there.  I used the same brackets for b-bodies, just a couple new holes.
