Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings?

[Karl Groves]

I am building mine. In fact, I'm thinking of building them and selling them. There are a lot of pretty good rotisseries out there, but the shipping costs are insane.  I figure if I build them, I could have a good market on the east coast, since the guy with the cheapest rotisseries is in CA.  Shipping something that heavy from CA is just out of the question.   Anyway, I think I might need to brace these doors anyway, since I'm gonna be cutting my roof off to do a roof transplant.   Anyone know where to find door supports?   Karl Groves Master Certified CIW http://www.karlgroves.com Will Work For Parts: http://chevelle.karlcore.com/detail.php?id=3   From: Dan McIntosh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 7:26 PM To: The Chevelle Mailing List Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings? Yep, if your car is a hardtop , the roof supplies all the support needed.    Did you make your rotisserie, or buy one.  I'd really like to use one for my car but dont really want the cost of buying one new, nor the time of building one, since I dont presume to ever need it again.   Dan McIntosh 1960 Impala Sport Coupe Street Metal Fabrications http://www.lowriderimpala.com     ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 8:48 AM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings? Not that I'm an expert, but the only time I have seen the support in place was on convertible bodies because they tend to flex. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Karl Groves Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 6:04 AM To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Subject: [Chevelle-list] Body on rotisserie - support door openings? Can any of you body guys answer this? I am getting ready (in a few weeks) to take the body off the frame and put it on a rotisserie. I've seen pics where people put a rod in to support where the doors were, and I've seen other pics where people did not.  Do I need to support the door openings?
