hey doc....yours wont work on a van will it? putting a van on a spit would be pretty hard (as far as i can tell) maybe making a trolley or something similar to what JAM used for his clubby would be easier?

You could modify it for a van- make pole longer, put pickup points on the rear shock mounts at the back- there's not much else back there!

I'll put pics up tonight- gotta go finish Gafmo's gearbox now.... :shock:

OK Guys here's some pics.
Sorry I don't have any dimensions, but Mini is full size, 10'-0-1/4" long.. 8) :lol:

<edit> It's bolted together in sections, I carted the whole thing home in my EA Ford sedan..!
No, I don't own it. :wink:

Step by Step on the spit construction method here http://minimikebc.tripod.com/rotiss.html This is for a sedan so you'd need to modify the back end as Doc suggests

but...It can be done... but this guy didn't say how

I have no %&^^$ idea what this pink crap is on it, but stripper doesn't want to take it off! :cry:
That's why I want you to check it out. 8)

Personally I like 2 pack hi-build... it's bloody durable, and won't hold water, and you can still spray acrylic lacquer over it.

It's a `64- and the gutter `drip rails' are perfect! :P

Unlike my `70 red car- which has had a driprailectomy on the drivers side.. :shock:

Fix it before it gets worse.
My son's Clubbie rusted right thru from the top, in the RF corner, it took me about 4 hours to patch weld it. Bastard of a spot to get into without burning the roof lining etc...
