Flipped my 72

Finally! I put the finishing touches on my rotisserie based on Fishcop's write-up. I was a bit worried it would take two folks to turn it. It's a little hard getting it off the long base by myself. I would think the shorter sides will require a little less effort. Otherwise, I'm pleased.

Hey Tom, I'm in Carterville, about 50 minutes away. Pelicans are a sparse breed in our area.

As far as space, my garage is 18 x 24. With the work bench an fenders and such hanging on the opposite wall, I'd wager I'm working with about 14'. Those pictures were taken with my back to the walls. Now that the car can be moved, I actually have more space.

I count about 6 rust-throughs I can now more easily address, the worst being the bottom of the smuggler's box. I didn't fancy doing any of them laying on my back. As I need to replace the now 40 year old original suspension bushings and the engine is out for refresh, this seemed like the way to go.

The list of things to do is overwhelming!

Thanks Fishcop. You blazed this trail for me.
