I've been thinking about constructing a rotisserie to assist in some work I want to do on one of my Mustangs (a 1987 GT) and in searching around I noticed that for some reason or another, it seems like the only people ever using the things are people working on pre-1970 Mustangs. I did find one page that talked about using it on a Porche 914, but seriously, it seemed like it's all early Mustang projects. Does anyone know why this might be? Is there any reason why a rotisserie would be a bad idea on the later model (1987-1993) Mustangs? It seems like an ideal application for any unibody vehicle, and probably for non-unibody vehicles with the frame removed, and yet it just seems like that one narrow range of cars is all anyone uses it for.
I'd ask if anyone knew of plans for such an item, but I've seen a few sites that have them for sale already... as I'm too cheap to buy a pre-made one, I'm also too cheap to buy the plans anyhow. Most folks seem to just suggest modifying a pair of Harbor Freight engine stands, so perhaps I'll do that. Otherwise maybe I'll do it all from scratch and post my progress online when I get a chance.
