SA/FB Mounted on a rotisserie???

Im gonna have the car dismantled enough this month. Im blasting it then fixing some rust and a jacked up corner on the floor and then epoxy prime it. I was wondering if anyone had pics or ideas on how to mount it to a rotisserie? Im thinking of getting an Eastwood rotisserie... unless I find something of better value next month.



thanks!

Thinking about it, I would remove the bumpers and see if those mounts could be used to put it up.

my friend has an FC mounted up right now, there is a "kit" from harbor freight, its basically two engine stands. i'm not sure how official the thing is, but it works

the Mazda guys doing the factory restorations on the miatas are using 4 posts, that mount where the subframes would go, the car is up in the air, but not that high

yes. Richard Miller did something too.

be aware that being able to get to all this = tons of work.

I wish... I was gonna get a kiddy pool and do an electrolysis on the bottom 12" of an SA. but that plan never came to fruition.

I'm kinda thinking about some kind of rotisserie here soon; but not really necessary for my car and what I wanna do next. Besides the Harbor freight jack stands have lasted this long.
