Viperpete 36 Report post Posted May 17, 2021 Hey guys and gals. The time has finally come for me to put the 69 under the knife. I ordered a boat load of goodies from MTF and picked up my full floor pan from NPD (its great having them 10 miles from home). I think i'll start a build thread but I had a question. I have completed building a rotisserie. The plans are attached. Any ideas on how to attach the rotisserie to the car? My neighbor gave me 9 cans of this purple paint so i figured id spray the rotisserie. Looks great. Had the motor/trans out in 90 mins!

aslanefe 333 Report post Posted May 17, 2021 A lot of folks mount the car using front bumper holes on front frame rail and rear panel. But if you are going to change the whole floor, that would not work for you. I am making a frame jig that turns into rotisserie. Frame jig keeps everything aligned. If you wait a few days, I can post some pictures. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viperpete 36 Report post Posted May 18, 2021 I have a lot to do before I cut the old floor out. I was advised to put the car on jack stands, cut the floor out, weld the new one in and then mount on the rotisserie. The floor and front frame rails are toast. I am going to build some cross bracing in-between the doors with an X going from left to right before I cut the floor out as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted May 18, 2021 Yep ,dont put it on the rotisserie until you get the floor back in . Assemble it on at least jack stands and make sure it is level in all directions before any welding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted May 18, 2021 I built a simple jig for front clips ,it works on 64 1/2 - 70 . The whole front clip with firewall and torque boxes can be slipped in in one piece 1 Mach1 Driver reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viperpete 36 Report post Posted May 18, 2021 So I think what I'm gonna do is raise the car on my lift slide the floor under the car and position it on jack stands. Then lower the car onto the new floor and weld it up. I'm not 100% sure how i'm going to make sure its perfectly level though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmlay 80 Report post Posted May 18, 2021 Watch a few of these videos to get an idea. Take lots of measurements. More than you think you need. https://youtube.com/channel/UCG-IsvXgmiBXavN03_C-PNA Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jjstang 51 Report post Posted May 19, 2021 I used a laser level to establish a datum line and measured from there according to the factory specs. I used screw jacks for micro adjustment. 8 points. Worked good. 2 Mach1 Driver and Ridge Runner reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ridge Runner 1,112 Report post Posted May 22, 2021 Every now and then you can find those old train / house moving jacks ,i just bought 7 of them off market place for $10 each . They are 1 1/2 inch screws and the base is cast iron ,they work great for leveling ,i think i have 10 of them now and they came in all different lengths Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
