Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?
my thoughts exactly, but thats also an excuse of mine.

With all this talk of rotisserie's I was wondering if anyone out there had a set of plans to build one that they would be willing to share. I have found a couple plans on the net but I figure you guys on here would probably have one that worked for Chevelles a little better. Thank you Ryan
Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?
I put my 69 Malibu on a homemade rotisserie with no door support. It didn't flex that I know of, and I even worked inside it with no additional support.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?
I am building mine. In fact, I'm thinking of building them and selling them. There are a lot of pretty good rotisseries out there, but the shipping costs are insane. I figure if I build them, I could have a good market on the east coast, since the guy with the cheapest rotisseries is in CA. Shipping something that heavy from CA is just out of the question. Anyway, I think I might need to brace these doors anyway, since I'm gonna be cutting my roof off to do a roof transplant. Anyone know where to find door supports?

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?
If you can build a rotisserie, then you can build a door support also. Use the threaded hole at the striker, and the threaded holes for the door hinges (for each top and bottom). Bolt a flat piece to each of these (3 places), then cut a length of square tube (2 of these) to fit between them, and weld each end. Voila, It's supported. :-) Maybe a piece of angle iron for the striker end. Might make it easier to weld to.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?
Karl, Don't try to replace major structuralpanels while on a rotissisory. You need the car supported by the chassis support points when changing a quarter,roof etc. Mike Holleman - Original Message - From: Karl Groves To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Sent: Saturday, January 28, 2006 8:45 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?

I've done 2 Chevelles on rotisseries, never braced them, never had a problem. Also have my 69 Charger up on the rotisserie now, not braced. There is another guy at the school that has a 69 GTO convertible up on a rotisserie and he braced the whole inside. I can take pictures of it on Monday if needed. Tom
