    I am pulling my gsx of the frame and was wondering if anyone has some dimensions or plans for a body jig so I can get to work on the frame.
    Thanks

    Herb, I think this body cart may be what you are looking for:

    There's also a page comparing rotisseries from different manufactures:

    And a thread discussing another rotisserie build:

    Ken, nice link on building a rotisserie! :TU:
    I drew up plans for my own rotisserie, and was going to build it ....instead I bought another car :Dou: Fortunately, this car has a very nice floor, which only needed sandblasting and minimal repair before painting.
    I simply put the body up on pallet racks. Maybe this would work for Herb, too. Here's a pic:

    Herb,
    You can also go to Home Depot and make one from some 4x4 lumber, get some large caster wheels while you are there and you can roll the body around easily. The rear clip w/o doors and interior is only about 300 lbs.
