Frame Rotisserie

We finally got a break in the winter weather so I could do a little quality garage time.  I spent a couple of days stripping the frame and getting it up on the rotisserie in preparation for inspection, cleaning, blasting, repairing, and painting.

Front extension and suspension stuff came off first.




Then all the machinery at the rear.




I put it on a couple of dollies so I could scoot it around.




Then broke out the sky hook to get it up on the rotisserie.  It's the same rotisserie I used for the body, but instead of the platform that holds the body, a couple of bespoke adapter bars bolt directly to existing holes in the frame.




Then it was just a matter of adjusting the mount points for balance.  Ideally, I want it to rotate freely, but pretty much stay in any position I put it in.




I'm really glad to be getting an early start on this frame.  I don't believe there is much repair work, but it's sort of the basis for almost everything else on the car.
