Wooden Rotisserie Question
That one appears to only be attached to the ends of the car, so it’s using the chassis as support which isn’t ideal if you’re doing structural work. I think that one would be kinda sketchy, especially rolling it over. I’d gusset the legs and have some outriggers to attach when it goes from one position to the other. Static up or down isn’t hard, the transition is where life gets interesting.
opinions will vary but with a ‘vert I would use some kind of door bars at the minimum before putting it on a rotisserie. Doesn’t have to be fancy but tying it together at cowl level is a good idea. With a hard top it would depend on why the car’s going on a rotisserie- if the plan is panel replacement or structural chassis work some additional bracing would be a good idea.
Wood oh hell no....you must not value your car.
Well that’s an ignorant statement. You can build a rotisserie out of wood that’s stronger than its metal counterparts if you do it right.
Homemade rotisserie’s can be sketchy regardless of what they’re made out of, you definitely have to pay attention to balance points and make sure you have strength where you need it or real bad things can happen real fast.
But you could make a great rotisserie out of wood if you know what you’re doing. And a lousy one out of metal if you don’t.
