Building a rotisserie

Since there is a substantial bodywork to be done to restore the car to top condition, I decided I needed a rotisserie to allow me to turn the body around when needed. I also wanted to have a solid reference for fixing the body in place when it will be time to replace the sills.
I therefore decided to make a steel beam copy of the frame with exact copies of the body attachement points.
This also allows me to weld temporary reference structures to this frame, such as when I will cut out the front wings for tackling the door hinge structure.

The rotisserie porvides independent front and rear height adjustment and allows 360 degrees rotation in any horizontal angle position.
