Regular Posts: 139 Location: Stroud, Glos | looking good - such a clean shell! regarding your car spit rotisserie thing - i'm thinking of making one - is the car top heavy when on it? it doesn't look like you've offset the weight of the roof at all. | ||

Its spot on, theres a lot more weight in the bottom of the car than there is in the roof. It became a little top heavy with the rollcage in. | ||

(that'll probably be when the car is upside-down but diagonal) cheers mate | ||
