    Body on rotary

    Trailered the body up to son Greg’s garage and put it on the rotary so now the body work can begin in earnest.

    Very impressive, to say the least [^] I've seen this used with metal/steel cars mounted to the frame, but what work needs to be done on a Unique using a rotisserie? Probably a dumb question if you have it available.... but???????

    Maybe a picture of the 2x6 & 2x4 frame we built under the body will help.

    Make sure you fit the doors,hood,and trunk on the chassis. The body moves ALOT off the chassis. It would be a shame to find this out later.

    Nice setup. Thats awesome!!

    Hi Brent, Greg did fit the hood, trunklid & doors before we removed the body from the chassis and are suprised how well they still fit on my wood frame.

    Good deal.

    Your weather is probably just like ours. Perfect time for body work. Wait...there is never a perfect time for body work. )-:
