I want to say thanks again for the pictures and inspiration to build a rotisserie. I love it more every day. No struggle to work on the cars. See Lance my son(14) is even willing to help. Enjoy the pictures, let me get back to my customers "GT toys". :lol:

:lol:

Cheers
Rassie.

Rassie,
It makes life alot easier when you can turn the whole car and work on the area you want.
I tried to restore a car on jack stands and it was very difficult.
Next time I will use a rotisserie like yours in the photo.
Lance looks like a good help.
Cheers Clint.

Yes Clint, it is very new in S.A. I am the first in 35 years of the V8 in S.A. as far as I know, who did put a GT in a rotisserie. This was with the help of OZ forum friends.
I love them.

Rassie.

The pit is also nice, as my friends will show you. :lol:
