I was fortunate enough to get an offer from a close friend this past weekend to rent a 35x60 section of his shop for 30 bucks a month....so that's where the charger is headed (no garage at home)

anyway, now that i have good inside storage area i've decided to do the charger right and go frame off resto-mod....my question is where can i find or can i build a decent rotisserie to flip the body over and rework the undercarriage for a nominal price.....i don't have deep enough pockets to just buy a rotisserie outright....

options??

thanks,

Randy

There are a bunch of rotisserie design threads on here.  Do a search for MagnumCharger rotisserie.

gasless is fine for the rotisserie. It doesn't need to be pretty. It just needs to be strong.

Get goin'!!!!    :cheers:

True!
I was just taking away the reason to wait.. flux core will work fine - especially if you've already got it.
Definitely need a gas setup when you get to body panels: cleaner, cooler
