you may want to think about drilling and tapping a couple of holes on the rotating part, that way you can put zerk fittings in and grease it just in case moisture gets in and tries to rust it together.

Sounds like a great idea.

That rotisserie is going to make your job a lot easier for the ALFA resto, another task well executed Jeff, wish I had your energy and enthusiasm.

Just as well you are a fireman Jeff with all that firewood under your bench..haha The paint booth looks very good and it is nice to see all three cars together..it has been a lot of work for you to get to this stage.

Very nice job on the frame With the wheels make sure you can get at the bearings with some sort of spray lube as the blast media will get in to them we used to go through loads of WD40 after we blasted them with compressed air otherwise they were jammed solid.

Nice work. You make it look easy. I hope to make one for my 1971 Camaro soon.

Its great to see how far ahead you are thinking and its funny to watch you trying to catch up with your own thoughts and then having to come back and think about where you are up too. Great viewing and would you believe it, I am actually learning something . (Thumbs up and looking forward to seeing you both on line again)

Can I suggest you brace the upright beams Jeff as always great content

Jeff, I'm in Charlotte NC & truly enjoyed the Z step by step process. You've given me some very good time saving info! Also, like that rotisserie set up! May have to use your tip on building mine as well! GREAT STUFF!!

Brilliant Jeff you have put a lot of thought into your plans I just wish I had a bigger garage to work on my mk2 Escort

Nice job Jeff!

Love your work, but forgive me, Mrs Jeff is my favourite. 😏😇

Looks great Jeff, you should gusset the middle of that staunching forward of the head so it does not collapse 🤔😃🤘

Great job, I agree on using the gussets for the uprights, its always better to have a more rigid frame when carrying the car on a trailer, it might snap just above the weld. I made triangular uprights on my frame, they're strong but limit some access to the front and back

Just built one for a classic mini and it makes it so much easier for blasting and repairing rust.

Tip ...put your respirator in a sealed box ..Sundstrom used to sell a grey one it keeps it clean and your filters last longer...loving the videos mate !

Nice job 👌👌

Very nice work Jeff. great progress. Makes most of us look like slackers and pikers

Nice work, awesome!

looking just the job that frame but the lift really makes a difference I bet you're glad you have that

G'day Jeff built on the kiss theory 😉 Perfect🙂😎👍👍

Nicely detailed execution of your rotisserie build. As a matter of safety, I think you should add similar triangular reinforcements on either side of the T-base of your rotisserie as you did below the swivel mechanism. I’m sure Mrs. Jeff will worry less knowing that you’re not any taking any unnecessary risks. Otherwise, another exceptional build video!

Are you going to add some castors so you can move the whole thing around? Also when you take the body to the sandblasters take all the other suspension parts as well and the you can easily paint them or get them powder coated, might save a lot of time and cost. Rotisserie looking good.

Jeff just as a safety tip can you do something about those dangerous looking rio handles. Maybe some bright yellow rubber ends.

I would have welded your tabs facing up on the legs so the center bars are off the ground and the legs are ground supported. Other than that this looks awesome!

Top work Jeff. Probably a good idea to drill holes in the inside pipe so the threaded rod penetrates into it locking it solid like an engine stand. The friction fit is a bit sketchy and unless the car is perfectly balanced horizontally and vertically it may break the friction and rotate. Try some decent rotating force on your current setup and see if you can move it.

How long is your car trailer? Surprised that it will fit! Looks great though!

I see in the end video your already on the case? 👍

Where do ya find the time, so jealous.

Why don't you close the spray booth? To keep them dust-free with all that metal work and to protect the Porsche?

Looks good should have gussets on legs as well on both sides to keep it from tipping and breaking welds

@HomeBuiltByJeff

5 жыл бұрын

I could gusset everything, but this is hugely over engineered as it is. That has the redundancy of both legs and if you noticed I welded the tubes to the ends of the centre piece rather than the face so the torsional force is spread over all of the welds not just concentrated on one ;)

@@HomeBuiltByJeff It's over-engineering for static use in the workshop but as soon as you apply the brakes (let alone having to stamp on them) while it's on the trailer the torque on the base of the upright and the crosspiece it's mounted on will be a fair ol' twist. But a plate on either side should be enough.

If the shell is 300kg (?) then the torque at the base at 0.5G deceleration is around 1,500Nm.
