Today we build a Rotisserie for the GTO Project. I missed out on a Rotisserie on Craig's List for 500 dollars so I am going to try and build one for the same amount. Stay tuned till the end to see if we were successful.
If you have a project you would like to showcase at the end of one of my videos just email me a few pics and a short description to: [email protected]
Here is the link to the plans I used as a guide.

    You are pretty handy Mark! That came out amazing and will serve you well on your GTO project!!

    Fun project to watch Mark. Just built a frame rotisserie for the ‘49 project. Your welding etc. much tidier than mine!! Looking forward to the restoration to begin.

    Fantastic work mate. This gives me a lot of ideas. Thanks for sharing.

    Nice build! Good luck wit the GTO.....My first of many mistakes was scrapping a 1965 GTO many many moons ago!
  • @ralphanderson2006
    Awesome build. I’ve watched several other videos and this is the best one I’ve seen.

    Great job. Need to get my old home made rotisserie out and do some upgrades to it.!
  • @fdwsr71
    This is great job you did.

    I have a harbor freight folding engine hoist. I bought it new. I have seen older ones like mine on Facebook marketplace for 100 bucks, some times even less. so.... I am planning on trying to come up with a way to mod these into a car rotisserie and allow them to also be converted back engine hoist. I should video it as I suspect this could be a pretty popular project if it works. I have a 68 mustang [rustang] and a mid 2000 era ASA NASCAR chassis and am building it into a vintage style trans am car but the upgraded version as the ASA chassis will allow it to be MUCH faster then an original 68 trans am car, like a modern day TA2 car. I even have a vintage boss 302 from a 66 A sedan race car to use.

    That rotisserie was definitely a great investment. It will be much easier to work on all areas of the body and you will also be able to do a better job. I am a new subscriber and I really enjoy your channel.

    Really enjoyed the video - very instructive. I may try the same. One question, if you're still checking this thread. Why didn't you prime before color? I would be curious if that will really protect against rust. Best of luck with the GTO.

    Maek I am going to copy your rotisserie seeing you did such a nice job. Nothing to improve on here. Do you have lengths and hole spacing for the 4 upright pieces? I want to get this right and am sure I can figure the rest out. Thanks in advance!

    Bet your happy to work on something you own, you always do great work
  • @jerrysylvester292
    thinking of putting my 68 gto on a rotisserie. Is it necessary to add bracing in the car before I do? Don't want to twist it out of shape. great videos. I what them as soon as you put them out.
