This is a Porsche 911 restoration that was abandoned in 1994 after being converted to a race car. My plan is a twin turbo Subaru EZ30 porsche engine swap with 400+ HP to the wheels. Stay tuned.
Michael, Always love your work !
Makes my projects feel simple and achievable when compared 🙂
Mad props that you have the skills to pull off building something like this. Well done 🙌
Thanks for the thumbnail inspiration!!
Michael. I’ve a rotisserie that I made for my Porsche. I adapted using 50mm or so tube to fit into the front and rear bumper shock mounts. Might not give you the clearance to get the engine in and out but certainly leaves front and rear suspension freely accessible
Those are very cool. I have another car here on a rotisserie. This was not meant to be a rotisserie build.
I hate to sound like I'm always negative. Really I mean to be helpful. I had my '71 911S on stands with the rear stands under the torsion tube (and level, like you). I was pulling the front suspension with the tank out and I damn near let the car tip backwards. It looked like your engine tipping in your intro. So be aware that tube is too close to the center balance point when you hang the motor unless you have a couple hundred pounds in the frunk. I bet you already know so this is for others' benefit as well. You know when you use the jack tube which is right there that the whole side of the car lifts. That IS the balance point.
A fifth JS under the engine did the trick and not only that, solved the body sag problem faced when fitting doors and fenders. I'd say an old 911/912 will deflect a good half inch from front to rear when supported by the TT with engine installed. A Cellette bench solves the problem with fixtures that bolt to the bench frame and to the top of the rear shock towers. The body can't go up or down.
Nice welds.
This thing really needs diagonal bracing in all direction… those tiny L shaped brackets can’t wistand any bending torque…
I appreciate the feedback, but the plans for this dolly have been floating around on Pelican for 20+ years. I have a lot of confidence that it'll hold. For some reason, if it doesn't, it won't be a "catastrophic" break...it'll bend first.
With 1/8 square tubing its more than good.
love it. now i gotta go build me a set
Blundstone boots for the win again Mike!
Let's go @blundstone!
Damn auto correct
Blunnos as they are known in Aus!
I built and have my 356 build on an octagon rotisserie stand, absolutely one of the best decisions I have made.
Lots of Ben visits in this video. I wholeheartedly approve. I am sure he is bummed with the rain.
I built something similar but from wood for my quads. Wonder if I can use the same for cars......hmmmmmm..... job well done man!
Great ad-hoc tool! Looking forward to see some progress on the blasphemy, specially those dash screens which will look amazing, but understand that’s not an easy job. Keep posting, I’ll keep watching
this video was particularly uplifting
I see what you did there.
I've been thinking of making a dolly too.....Great result!
You can now brush paint that dolly with Eastwood Rust Encapsulator Plus . Wipe it down with there metal prep and brush it on you won’t regret it. 👍
That's a good idea. I might choose a more bold color way though.
@rennch can you post the plans (with measurements). Thx in advance.
I need one of these!
Right as I was thinking to myself "I'm slightly concerned those wheels won't be able to support the weight", you brought it up.
Those wheels should have no problems with something as light as a 911. If he decides to do a Cayenne I might upgrade
My gold replacements aren't that awesome either. I might be on a quest to find some new ones.
My dream car.
i would brace those uprights dont ask me why i know
You should absolutely do that then.
I agree. I recommend bracing the top of the vertical extensions to each other, both side to side and back to front, as high as possible. 45 degree gussets would not be a bad idea as well. When you get weight on that stand, you don’t want to have it lay over to the either sides, front or back.
@@bmc5108 I appreciate the feedback, but the plans for this dolly have been floating around on Pelican for 20+ years. I have a lot of confidence that it'll hold. For some reason, if it doesn't, it won't be a "catastrophic" break...it'll bend first.
@@rennch. I get it. I just worry about the height and the weight when the engine gets installed.
Looks great - but is there a way to securely fix it without using the suspension points so you can also refit the suspension while on the dolly?
That is the great mystery.
Ok that's pretty cool, now if you could design a removable rotisserie you could flip it around for bottom access and still have the access to the front and back for engine removal etc. Maybe too much on one jig? LOL.
I already have a rotisserie but it mounts to some areas where I can't access some of the things that I really need.
Mike, Spanky here. I’m in the need for a pair of stock G model front fenders. Used OE are perfect. Do you have any? Or leads? Thanks
-Spanky
What year? G or F body? If it's g body I know where there's a ton.
My 67 is on one now, where do I send the photos??
Ok, that is nicer than mine lol. I need to cut my supports in the rear where they attach to the swing arm fasteners. I like your idea of using the torsion tubes to support the car is BETTER. Consider cross bracing the fronts verticals together and the two rear supports for lateral movement. Remember when the subi engine fell of its cradle and it shifted the car? I could have been far worse it the vertical supports failed because of that.
I have only one beat down for you,,,,,, Never do that by yourself!!! that is too much weight if there was an issue!! Keep the content coming..
Yeah, that's why I was so sketched out. Lol
Totally agree. Once the engine is in it will weight much more
What happened to your Octagonal rotisserie? Maybe not high enough?
They serve different masters. Besides, rustmageddon is still on that rotisserie.
🇹🇷
Well, I don't want to be "this awful guy from the comments", but how you gonna get the car from it after putting an engine?
That's for tomorrow Mike to worry about.
