I decided to build a Body rotating device. Seeing the car is a convertible, I decided to make a support under the body to ack as a frame.
I would apresiate any advice on this. The biggest question I have at this point is where is the vertical center of gravity on the 68 convertible? I don't want a big surprise when I spin it upside down. Thanks for your input!

68, I have a friend who built one that bolts to the brake drums. It is made from 2" gal. pipe and it kinda looks like a rocking chair. He hooks his tractor to the car and pulls the car up on to its side. The only problem is you have to work outside.

I am hoping to work on the body without the frame, so it doesn't get in the way.
Here is a link to a picture of what I want to achieve. I found this picture on the ultimate GTO site. http://ultimategto.com/frameoff/69mork14.jpg Thanks again
