Well, that didn't go quite as planned. But....
My buddy Pete came over and we made a list of metal needed to mod the
rotisserie. Once I had that, Sam and I went to town and got what we
needed. Then Pete and I spent the rest of the day working on that;
cutting, welding, drilling, filing, etc.
This is going to be a slick rotisserie when done. When I give it back
to my buddy Cliff, he'll be flabbergasted. :) It will now be set up to
properly balance a car and make it near effortless to rotate, whereas
before it was waaaaaay off center-of-gravity and you had to be careful
when muscling it over - AND- you couldn't go more than about 45* over or
the car would hit the legs of the stand. Now it will be able to go all
the way over, upside-down and be balanced for safety.
That will be my Thank You to Cliff for letting me borrow it.
I've got some photos of the progress, but I'll post them all later.
Happy Mothers day to all you Mothers. Pete and I will be back at it
Monday night.
