Last weekend i picked up the new tool for the shop. It is a Auto Twirler rotisserie, I will need to use it on the wife's truck first. Then my 56 olds coach is going to spend some hours up on it. I cant wait.
I got one of those when the guy who owns the company was just starting out. I used to see him and his wife at shows all the time, but I think they've grown their business enough that they either don't go to the shows anymore, or they go to different ones than the ones I'm at. When I bought mine at Goodguys in Columbus I went to his trailer to pick it up and ended up helping about 6 more guys load theirs. He was so appreciative that he gave me a bunch of extra stuff that was left over in his trailer, like a jig you can use with it to hold a door while you are hanging it. Nice folks. In retrospect I wish I hadn't cheaped out and got the non-fully adjustable version and got the one you got. I don't use it all the time so I guess it's ok. They make nice stuff though.
be intersiting to see if you get the body of the olds up on it. let alone rotate it. be sure a post pictures. these things take up a lot of room in the shop. one of the guys down town has one he does a lot of personal rodding and race cars on. got to be 20 feet long with a normal body on it. I can't imagon how big it would have to be to put a 63 superior hight top on. then rotate it even 180 deg let alone 360. then with a car that big you still end up working off a ladder no matter what posision the body is in. but for the work you do this will be a nice tool keep the slag from dripping in your face. I hate laying on my back working up.
Yes, the one i have bearings in the head, when a car is set up on it you can turn it with one hand easy, hardly any effort.
