I was looking at getting myself a Rotisserie, and wasnt sure which would be better.
I have seen many on eBay for about $1000 and I also have some plans a member
posted on his website, that im sure i could build myself if I could find a steel supplier
locally.
What experiences have you had with them, or are there any reccomendations.

My friends bought a www.whirlyjig.com rotisserie. We looked at one at the car show

one summer and sized it up and decided it was cost efficient to just buy one already
built.

I built one with steel tubing that I got for free.

About all I had to pay for was casters and some hardware.
If I need one again, I'll buy one though.
It worked fine and was stronger than necessary, but it lacked the nice usability features
that the pro units have - like not having to jack the car up 3 feet in the air to mount it
on the spit
I gave it to some friend of my daughter who was just starting up a resto shop. I was
glad to see it go as it was taking up way too much room in the garage.

I built mine out of 2x2 and 2@1/2 x2@1/2 steel tubing for about 225.00. I found the
plans online and I'll see if iI can find the link for you. It works really well for me but
as meantioned before, it doesn't have the high tech features of a bought one. I use
my engine hoist to raise up one end at a time and that works ok, it's just kind of a
Scott
pain for some things, but overall I'd build mine again and not buy.

the plans i have are specifically for a Rotisserie for a 73 Charger.

I just have to find some place to sell me the steel.
I tried putting in enquiries for pricing to a couple local places and no replies

Well, I was going to give you a link to a site with lots of steel but then got to thinking
and decided not to because of shipping prices and thought youd be better off going
local

Yep, thats the one I used. I made the pivot a little stronger and my clocking wheel is a
little different, but it works great.

Im sure our welders/fabricators could fab up something like that for way less $$. We
build much more complicated machinery where I work at. I just don't need one but I
could've asked a favor.

I built my own for about $100 out of 4x4's and fence rail. I put the pivot too high tho
so the car is bottom heavy and the winch on front cannot turn it. I just grab the side
and lift it up then prop it up on a board, jack stand or the torsion bars like Ive been
doing lately
Front
Rear, it had to be supported

I built my own for about 650 bucks Canadian and added a gear reduction unit to one
side to turn the car. 60 turns is one revolution and I do not have to lock it. It works
slick and was well worth the 150 bucks for that addition. I would highly recommend it.
You can see it in the following link.

No I did not but it was pretty easy to do . I just welded a piece of steel (Semi brake
cam) with an outside diameter the same or slightly smaller than the inside diameter of
the tube which attached to the piece which mounted to the rear bumper bolts to a
coupler which attached to the gear reduction unit. I made a mount out of some used
steel for the gear reduction unit and attache dit to the rear rotisserie section and
added a couple pieces of rebar to stop the unit from twisting. I have attached a couple
of pics.
