Default Re: 32 Roadster

Good suggestion for the front attachment points on the front cross-member engine mount pads.

For the rear I would make a plate that bolts to the rear cross-member spring bolt holes on the bottom, weld a pipe to this plate pointing toward the rear and brace side to side, the pipe that is, to the rear tube frame rail bolt holes.

Assuming you have a floor and sub-rails, I would create a mounting plate in the body and use body to frame mount points and the front corners of the deck lid opening as attachment points. Keep in mind that both rotisseries must be on the same axis.

There is another design that uses hoops attached to the bottom of the body. The hoops surround the body. You roll the body on the hoops.

Good luck.
