body rotator
Here is a pic of my completed body dolly/rotator. It was a project which was long overdue. I only have about $300 in the project and a couple of evenings of welding. No more laying under the car with crap falling in my face!

Re: body rotator (phxraptor)
Very nice. Several of the hot rod shops by me use a similar dolly. It should make your work a whole lot easier.

That's a hell of a nice setup you put together there, I will have to keep that in mind if I ever get to tear into our CE. Nice work. :thumbs:

That would have been great when I was doing my floor repair. Nothing worse than fiberglass falling all over you.

Re: body rotator (Bob Demmel)
Hi Bob,
It was good seeing you there as well. It is going to be kind of a bummer going to Waco this year and not having a car to take! I am just going to hunker down this winter and get the 59 finished, and maybe start another restoration in the spring. I am kind of thinking about a midyear this time!
