bumper mounts to rotisserie

The rear mount will be straight forward, the front is going to require a bit of work.  I will either have to weld up a bracket or cut down somw larger stock to fit through the body.


Option two is to use the front bumper brackets mounted to cross bar.

Going to sleep on it and figure out what to do before picking up the steel.

How is once you start orginizing the amount of stuff expands exponentially?  I guess I had a lot of stuff stored around the '67.

Unpacked and cleaning garage

I uncrated the Wirily Jig after watching the video - it a little old but it shows how to do everything - just the early 90's economy version used the old bumper jacks at each end.  This version uses a 3 ton harbor freight hydraulic cylinder.  The rest of the rotisserie is well made and made in the USA.

What I doing with my "winter break"? - I bought a big rotisserie

Again I am faced with 4 plus weeks of vacation.  I did not plan enough to take a grand trip, still might do that when this happends again.  So time to get working on that long outstanding project.  Not wanting to lay on cold concrete again I decide to put the 1800S on a rotisserie.   


Now I just need to uncrate it - there is a DVD inside along with the manual - I guess these men know most men only will read the instructions when all else fails but they may watch TV.

So after many hours looking at plans or cheap-o made in china types I went with a Made in USA Wirley Jig and if they couldn't deliver in time Rotor2000 out of Iowa was my fall back model.
