The good thing about this design is its versatility. You can put a complete body on it, roll it into the driveway, add ends to it and make a rotisserie out of it, add a tarp for some shade, and use it to paint the engine bay and underside, Worked good for me. plus when I was done I unscrewed it all and put it away.

Hey Bax, Make sure you have a termite bond on that body cart- rotisserie-shed! That's cool! Necessity is the Mother of Invention! Were you a little nervous the first time you rolled it upside down?

Here's a few pics of the jig I built to do a tub on. ( As was mentioned by Crawdad.)

OK Bax, I kowtow to anyone who can smoke 37's! Yet you hit the ; rather than the ' button… ;D

Yeah well I am 8 beers into a 5 pack so I can hardly see to type.

Rolling it over? Not a problem I was not skerred. I was more skerred about it on it's side. There is little lateral support in the jig but the bronco supplied that so I was good.

If you get 8 beers out of a 5 pack, you're welcome here any time! Price of admission, 4 5 packs. Still appreciate your wood rotisserie! Even if you can't see.;)

No, no, no, Bax… I was implying that if you can get 8 beers out of a 5 pack, you can swing by to drink up, bring (4) 5 packs not 45 packs which by my math equates to 32 beers. I make my own wine, so if you're into that, you can add my house to your list!

Bax,
what did you use to anchor the tub to the posts? Lagbolts? It also looks like there is some sort of stand off between the wood post and the body. Can you give us a little more details?

The good thing about this design is its versatility. You can put a complete body on it, roll it into the driveway, add ends to it and make a rotisserie out of it, add a tarp for some shade, and use it to paint the engine bay and underside, Worked good for me. plus when I was done I unscrewed it all and put it away.
