Hi guys i'm new to this great site, I've had, and fixed up a few old Caddys in my day. i also train young guys in the art of metal work on restoring vintage classics, I'm kinda of a restoration school if you will. So to make restoration work more enjoyable, & efficient I can up with a new style rotisserie that works out great, I call it "ROLLER HOOP" just thought I'd let it be known here on this site in case anyone might have interest in making their restoration work easier. Clearly the pictures are not of a Cadillac, (yet) for since I developed the Roller hoop i have not had the opportunity to mount one up, but the the 63 Galaxy body showcases a large size car (such as a Cadillac) it is just as effective as smaller bodies.
Interesting. How do you get the car in it?
very nice!
Love it!
Yeah, How do you.....
My wife taught me how to jump thru hoops.....
Q,
Mine too.

I would assume that after the body is lifted off the frame and is still up, the rotisserie is assembled around it and attached. Then the whole thing is lowered on the base/rollers.

it has been a while since I had time to visit this site, so busy in the shop training tomorrows craftsmen, So yes back to the rotisserie the ROLLER HOOP it is a simple process to mount up a body shell. Just as mentioned here once the body shell is lifted up to appx 33 inch rocker panel height via a lift, or on jack stands and a wooden cart as I use, then place the Hoops in position using the two Hoop holders provided, center the Hoops to the body shell, map out the jigs to be built with masking tape and cut drill and weld the jigs that you will need all this is covered in the 26 pg handbook and DVD, basic stuff and pretty simple. I'm parting out a 61 4dr series 62 right now that is very rusty if I get time i'll be mounting it up in the Roller Hoop for displaying at events and such maybe next yrs national event even? My wife did all the patenting process on this product so she and I know how to jump through Hoops as well!
