Auto Rotisserie

admin

Built a rotisserie a few years ago for a frame-off restoration of my 67 GTO.  Made it mostly from pieces I had around the shop.  Acquired some old cooling tower bearings from work and made a couple shafts on the lathe. Car spun like a top and the rotisserie never even grunted. Attached Images
Reply:I don't know why but I was expecting something on a BBQ cooking not a 67 GTO. I can just imagine Sam poking it with a fork to see if it is done.Nice 67 GTO , My brother use to have a 68 GTO Judge.Co-Own CNC shop:Miller :1251 plasma cutter, MaxStar 700 TIG/Stick, & XMT 456 Multiprocess Welder.&  2 Hypertherm HPR260's Plasma CutterSorry I had a bad stroke but now I am back.

Reply:I have owned this car since 1975. Paid $175 for it.  I used to work as a mechanic in high school and college. I did all the work including the paint except for the trunk graphic and installing the upholstery on the seats. The trunk graphic was done by local artist Dave Webster, www.thikskin.com .  The 455 engine makes around 450 HP. The underneath is painted as nice as the top.  I take it to car cruises around Pittsburgh. It gets a lot of attention.  There is always someone who used to have, knew someone who had, or rode in a mid 60's GTO when they were younger. Attached Images
Reply:WFM:Awesome restoration job! Didn't they also bring out a version with an overhead cam six cylinder called the Sprint or something like that. Like everyone else I had a friend that had one and as I recall the "Sprint" went like a scared rabbit.....Spectre:I was expecting the same thing as you......If WFM needs a fork next time he uses it I have a hay fork that should about do the job.....Sign on East Texas payphone: Calls to God 40 cents......it's a local call...
