Don,

Did you build the rotissiere? Looks good, what thickness and cross section are the uprights? I have one that I built for frames, but might have to rebuild it for the body, sure would be handy to roll it over without using a pile of tires now that the rockers are done.

Thanks
Doug

1. Yes
2. 2.5" X .250" wall

Building the rotissiere was one of my brighter ideas. It made the repairs to the floors, the countless hous of block sanding and the painting of the bottom of the car much easier to do.

Looks great Don!

How many miles do you have on the Roadster now?

Dunno, but I haven't worn it out yet. I guess I'll just have to try harder.
