Someone over at SA asked so I thought I'd share at two places. Good way to kill two birds with one stone IMHO. :)

My rotisserie is scratchbuilt from a couple of sizes of K&S Brass tubing and soldered together. It was also my first time soldering.

Like a 1:1, it's positionable.

It's also adjustable for different sized car bodies.

Yeah. I know. There's no wheels and that's because I haven't come up with a suitable solution to that problem yet.

Here's the set of plans I drew up before I ordered any K&S.

WOW!

What a neat device! I think you're the first person I have ever seen build something like that in scale!

It would also make it an excuse for me as to why the whole bottom of the chassis is also painted.:)

Thanks Bill.

I've got a few other goodies I wanna build in scale along this line. Hopefully, I'll get to them this winter and yes, I know it's just starting on summer. :D

That would work. I have but one set and I've gotta get some rubber and resin.

Yup. Yup. I was told I was a fast study last time I tried learning a new set of skills. Guess it still applys.

Thanks!

As always John, your work is top drawer.

I've been thinking of putting together a pair of ramps to go under my '41 Willys. I've got to do something with all that angle iron left over from doing the rear deck rack for the Sheridan.

Rick,

Get yourself to a WalMart. At one point, they had some nice sets of NASCAR tools in our scales. One of the sets includes a set of ramps.

GMP Diecast also has a set of tools that includes a set of ramps.

If you just want ramps, R&D unique will be happy to sell you a set.

In all three cases, they're all diecast. I have sets from both GMP and WM.
