    My 67 finally on rotisserie today,

    a milestone for me. Started removal of under coating no surprises. I have already repaired typical battery leak, rear package tray and one seat bottom , suspension points look like new. Every crevise loaded with rust killer on down hill slide. . 3/3/10 Tested oil thermostat, mocked up front oil cooler and line's (with fender on). Installed modified FabCar oil tank, unpacked rechromed goodies, assembled one H1 (no fun), a good productive day

    But after that moment you are on your own and nobody owes you a damn thing.

    Wow it looks great! What did you do to strip the bottom? I have a 67 on the lift that I need to strip and I just keep putting it off due to the fact that I did this before on a 72 and swore I would never do it again. Huge amount of work. My joints ache just thinking about it.

    Thanks Rick, I used a braided wire wheel with 4.5" grinder. VERY dirty process but not difficult, what you see in pic is 3 Hours of work about 1/3 of bottom. Early cars like 67 used a different undercoating that is not nearly as difficult to remove as the very heavy tar based used on your 72. I had to weld in a rusted out seat bottom and all I had available was a pan from a 73 and it took me a half hour of heating and scraping to strip it. I have already stripped all the top side so the bottom is all that's left. A rotisserie is sure a nice way to go.

    Total time 13 man hours.

    Now ready for a light soda blast. To bad soda doesn't cut it on the undercoat. Done and undercoated.

    Looks great.

    Would you mind posting a few more pictures of your rotisserie and size metal you used. I am getting ready to buy my steel and build one.

    Thanks.

    It must be exciting for you to be entering this stage in your "relationship" with the car, Mark! Good luck on your project, and keep the end in mind as you tunnel through the challenges and the tedium, step by step.

    Yeah baby! Flip it and strip it!

    This is a 356 Rotisserie, originally. . . note no backbone piece. . .works fine, but not for the faint of heart.

    Here is a CRUDE drawing, I just used what I had laying around. Front and rear are the same, only change is angle of brackets to bolt 2x2 angle iron to body . The back bone holding the 2 together again was what I had laying around in my case a piece if 2"x2" 1/8" sq tube.

    Wow. Really cool. That's a really cool way to handle the restoration process. Just curious, how much does that car frame weigh?
