Glenn I went done to Harber freight bought a couple cheap 750 lb engine stands for $35.oo each bought some steel to telescope up and down for ground clearance that way it can be used for fusaluge, wings and auto or aircraft engines its a hole lot cheaper than $1100.oo for a rotisserie. If you need I can do drawing of how its done.

The shop is almost cleaned and organized enough to start. The first thing I see that I am going to need to do is to build a rotisserie to put her onto so I can move her around and position her for easy repair. I will be removing the rudder and elevators. The turtledeck will be removed also. the the engine is off, the mount will be removed or kept on as required by the rotisserie (preferably removed). Does anyone have any plans, sketches, dimensions, and/or suggestions for the rotisserie?

I just finished installing the plumbing for the fuel tank selector and boost pump in the cockpit. Getting the 3/8-inch tubing flaired and bent just so was definitely an education. The biggest problem was bending over the cockpit sides; I wonder if I have done some permanent damage to my back. In the working smarter, not harder category: Would the 2180 VW crank shaft and prop flange sustain any damage while serving as a pivot for a fuselage rotisserie? The tail end of the fuselage would attach to the second pivot at the tail spring. Without wings being attached, the fuselage could be held at 90 degrees rotation for systems installations while I stood straight and tall.
