There are pictures online somewhere of a guy in Europe who did this to
his rocco. I'm thinking Malta perhaps? Anyone know where these pics
are?

So I've been working on the '78, up on it's 4' sawhorses, but they
aren't 
as steady as I would like.
So I was going to weld up a stand for each end out of steel when I
thought 
of a suggestion my
father-in-law had made- a rotisserie.  What I would use to mount the
car to 
the rotisserie is a piece
of 2" box tubing across where the bumpers would normally be with a
10-12" 
piece going into the
opening for the bumper mount and using the existing mount holes to
bolt 
on.  The question(finally)is
do you think this area(mine is in good shape) will hold the shell of
the 
car, which is stripped?  It is not
very heavy as 4 of us had no problem lifting it up on the sawhorses in
the 
first place, but I would like to
get some opinions of people who may have experience or technical 
knowledge.  Having it on a rotisserie
will make it easier to work on since I will be able to rotate the car 
depending on what area I am working on
and after this project, with a change to the mounting bars I can use
it to 
restore my '69 MGB which has been
waiting for resto. since '97.
