    Great video. I'm restoring a 74 vw thing. This is just what I'm looking for. With a few modifications and additions, I can even transport it to have work done that I can't do.

    Thanks for a great video. I have been wanting to buy a rotisserie but too much $$ is required. Could you do a video on how to build one or have a build sheet or something? Again, thanks for a really straight forward show.

    I really like this! I have been working on a Chevelle. Thinking about a Tip over jig to finish the underside, Welding and Stripping, etc. With out help. I would be in a dangerous position. I did price out some metal, the cost came out more then manufactured rotisserie

    • @RADPotential
      @RADPotential  3 роки тому

      I thought about doing it in steel, but ran into the same issue, wood was the best budget option. the rx7 chassis is super light so I wasn't too worried about it being strong enough, a chevelle body, even with the full front clip off, and no interior is much heavier, let me know what you come up with!

    Good going. Nice post production. As i have been approaching the building of a rotisserie, I have been trying to come up with some kind of process for Guestimating the "through line" or the imaginary line through the car on which it would rotate in balance. Its not easy on atypical asymmetrically shaped unibody cars (63 Rambler American 2 door wagon). At the same time I am pondering how to get my car from rotisserie to trailer and back as my blasting and epoxy source is 100 miles away. I dont think a 100 mile ride with a rotisserie mounted car on a trailer is a grand idea,. Seeing the simplicity of your rig, though did give me an idea. Thanks so much for sharing

    • @RADPotential

      Yea I built my rotisserie to not be mobile. That adds a whole new level of design to the system. It is somewhat trial and error as well if you don't build adjustment into the system.

    Great video didn't know it would be possible to stabilize a vehicle without a center connection on the rotisserie.

    • @RADPotential
      @RADPotential  3 роки тому +1

      My thoughts were if the center connection is simply linear, its not going to do a ton unless its angle braced at the ends to the uprights. In my medium of wood. A 2x2 or 4x4 steel bar will be stronger if the system is steel, I just used the large base of the rear to stabilize it in the horizontal direction

    Can you publish the mounting / offset of the bumper mount. You stated 8-10 " in the front and in line on the rear. Or draw out the mounts.
    That will greatly help all. (and me)
    Thanks

    So many dumb, uninformed automotive DIY videos on UA-cam.
    This is NOT one of them. Nice job relating an intelligent design and a thorough grasp of what you want to accomplish and how to accomplish it. Well done!

  • @Mastermindyoung14
    @Mastermindyoung14 3 роки тому +1

    Doesn't it need to be higher than half the width? Technically it needs to be mounted higher than the square root of half the width plus half of the height to clear the ground.

    • @RADPotential
      @RADPotential  3 роки тому

      I would say in most cases the body wider than it is tall. if you have a more vertical window area, the longest distance from the center of rotation will be to the outside corner of the roof. on the rx7 the widows tilt inward enough that the longest distance from the center of rotation is at the horizontal width of the car.

    • @LTVoyager
      @LTVoyager 3 роки тому

      Yes, he should have added the other dimension of the rectangle and then measured from the center of rotation to one of the corner’s and used the Pythagorean formula to calculate the height. It appears he got lucky and the extra 6” he added was enough. Now he wishes he had actually paid attention in math class. 😂
