I have a Whirly Jig brand rotisserie. Have had it for going on twenty years. Have used it in three restorations and two of those were heavy Lincoln Zephyrs. Well built product.

I second that on the Whirly Jig. A little costlier than some, but I've been well pleased with mine. I have had it since 2006.

Well - I used two engine stands. The rear of the frame I made a bar to go between the frame rails and bolted on the restating portion of the one engine stand. Then I put a 2x6 board from floor to ceiling, drilling a hole for the round end for the round bar that would go into the engine stand and put a bolt through the hole in it to keep it home. For the front, did the same thing but this time used the engine stand on that end, making @feet” for the engine stand to bring the frame up to a height that would clear the floor.

If you would like more info, send me a pm with your email address and I will send you pictures…

I purchased the Auto Twirler Pro years ago and it has been great. Very well built and it is Made in the USA. I think most others, if not all, are made overseas.
