I didn’t get any time on the car last weekend, so I was itching to get back in the garage this weekend. I’d found some plans for a rotisserie on Chevy Talk, and got it made for sensible money. Bob came over to give me a hand, and we spent a few hours trying to lift the body off the frame before finding the mounting bolt I’d missed. Once that was out it was a lot easier! The frame was a pain to move as I’d given the back axle away, and my new one is still not here. Once it was out of the way, we lifted the body onto the mounts using the crane.

The body went straight on the rotisserie without any modifications whatever. Kevin, who’d made it for me had never even seen the car, let alone measured it. Good plans and well made I reckon. We wheeled it out on the drive and took the door that I could not get to off, then spun the body over to make sure it all worked. Nearly fifty years of assorted junk fell out.

It’s going to be a million times easier working on the car now, and it gave me the chance to clean the year of dirt that was under the car up. Once that was done, we turned the body upside down (It’ll only fit in the garage upside down!) and rolled it back in. It was getting late, and we were knackered so we called it a day.
