Rotisserie - Not the chicken kind, the car kind!

[Pro88LX]

It's just a good ass rotisserie chicken place in Allen. There may be more I'm not sure. Nothing high dollar, but it beats the he'll out of kroger and such. Good sides as well for such a fair price.

the have a couple in plano as well preston and 121 and on park by midway. Havent tried it yet....been meaning to though.

They seem straight forward, just don't want to get money invested in materials and find out there's a better way.

Its not terribly expensive now with low steel prices. I built one years ago when steel prices were higher and I had about $400 invested.

I figure I can get out the door with new steel and the scrap I already have for about $250 plus my time, which I have more of than money.

Jegs/Summit want a grand plus for theirs. I did find one on the chevy truck board that a guy had made, it was beefy as hell, but he wanted $1000 for it plus freight to get it here from BFE Illinois.

Thanks for the thread title clarification, that's makes more sense now. I was wondering how it was really off topic because I never clicked the link. I also wondered why HF would have a 1K rotisserie.

That's for some big ass ghetto chickins.

I thought about that, but I don't think that an engine stand would sit up high enough.

Some of the ones I have seen are extended. Doing this gives you the opportunity to make them adjustable and add hydraulic rams.

I like the idea, when its not in rotisserie mode, you can still make use of it as an engine stand.

That's a good thought, but I've got two engine stands as it is, and storage/space isn't an issue. I've got hoists and a backhoe to assist with the raising and lowering so I'm not going to add a ram to be able to adjusting vertically.

If you are only building this for easier access to the roof, you're planning on gutting it to lightening it up and don't really need full 180/360 degree rotation, you might consider a cradle instead.

I built this when I restored Cool Cats' dad's 35 Chevy Master. Pretty much had to build the support structure anyway because the 35 has a wood structure and I had to remove it all.

Then I simply welded up-rights at each corner at an angle and rolled the body on it's side. I was easily able to maneuver it myself without any issues.

Have you ever had cowboy chicken?!?!

There is one at Greenville and Lovers in Dallas. I went there once a long time ago and it was nasty. Maybe the Allen location is better, or I just went on an "off" day, but I never went back...

Search for a mustang rotisserie. There is a guy with the plans to use HF hydraulic pumps that make it much easier than jacking a car up 3 feet to put it on a rotisserie. Thats the one I built. It works great. Just make it more adjustable in widths and height and you will be golden.

That's not a bad idea. I'll have to explore that a little further. The burb is already gutted, was just thinking rotisserie because I have to do wome welding on the roof and wanted to paint it without dragging my belly across the edge. Plus I need to strip the underside and recoat it.

The cradle would definitely be cheaper and easier to build, plus with the backhoe I could tip it up very easily.

I'll look into that too.
