Bought a rotisserie..How do I hook up my Camaro???

**iluv69s** · #1 10-20-2007, 05:33 PM

I guess it was fate...I finally got too old to lay on my back anymore and work on the botoms of my cars...I broke down and bought a lift and a rotisserie....

Anyway, I'm obviously going to have to fabricate something for the rear to mount my 69 camaro body....Can I just make a bar to span the bumper holes?? Is that strong enough??? Should I put cushions between the bar and the body?? Also in the front, do I have to bolt to the subframe?? Or can I just bolt to the 2 front body mount holes without the subframe...Anyone got pics of how they did it??? I'd rather not re-invent the wheel!!! The rotisserie has 2- 2" sq. tubes extending toward the car...for starters...

Thanks in advance for any help!!! Max

I guess each one could be different, but I have a 69 shell up on one now. The front subframe comes out and you bolt up to where the front subframe mounts bolt in to the shell. On the rear you need to either buy or fab mounts that go under the rear tail pan and hook in to the rear shackle mounts for the leaf springs.

Here is a link to some pics that should help you.

If you bought an "Auto Twirler" they have several kits for different model cars and trucks. If not call the vendor like olredalert suggest.

Hope these photos can help. I made my own for a 69 Camaro. Attach to the bumper bracket mounts, plenty strong there. On the Camaro one I glued on a 1/16 " rubber pad.

And one for a 69 Nova
