That's a really nice stand. If you want to get under the door, cut the upper 3 pieces from lower 5 pieces where the miter joints are; and then sandwich the miter joint with bolted gusset plates on each side. That will make the top section easy to bolt on and off to get outside. If you want to stiffen up the bottom section to make it rigid when rolling over bumps, then you need to bolt on x bracing to the long axis of the rolling frame or add corner gussets at all the 90s. (qty 16 when done - looks like you have some in there already)

Great work. One benefit of having a bigger frame like that is at least it won't get in the way of your work as it could if it was closer to the body. Loving the progress.

Your ingenuity knows no bounds. Enjoy seeing your progress.

Cool and informative video.!! Keep up the good work and look forward to some more!

That’s fantastic. Great job welding, good bit of practice before the car 👍🏻

Looks great. Plenty of room to work around the support structure. I think it being a bit "big" will make things easier to access and better in the long run. Thanks for sharing.

Nice work...it will make everything easier and less frustrating! I couldn't have changed the floors without one!

This is so cool man! Loving the frequent uploads!

Nice one Jethro, I'm working on doing the same with the Lancia!

Looking great bro...throw in a couple diagonals on the uprights that bolt to the car for extra strength...keep up the good work😊

Excellent video. Can’t wait for the next one!

Hi Jethro thanks for your instagram answer,I wouldn't have bothered you had I realised this vid was here looks great!

Nice, this vloggy style is very refreshing

Very clever and functional design.

Awesome videos, very inspiring to restore my GTV.

Smart to make the frame jig on the large side. You now have the 'Fulcrum Effect' in your favor. Easier to lift and roll. Started binge watching all the videos.

A good design,nice workmanship.

Very nice job!

Really impressed!

Inspiring and scary at the same time. I've been pondering building one myself as I have 3 105s that would benefit from the rotisserie. I need to find a solution that will fit in a tighter space. Great video-keep up the great work

Stout work, lad! When you turned it on it's side I did laugh when I saw all of the perforations in the body, though! Like you found it in the desert in the USA, and people had used it for target practice over the years :) But, I've seen MUCH worse for sure, one of them a seemingly condition 2- TR250 that was absolutely awful when taken apart. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

Nice work, Jethro. Must admit I think your 'daily driver' is a class act and on start up sounded like any Alfa...More sporty than it looks. Your 'rotisserie' will be a boon to restoring your current project. Just don't cut out too much as you work away. That frame requires the structure of the car as much as the car needs the structural integrity of the frame. I need something like this for my old Jag...(GULP!!) And you are too modest regards your welding ability..

1:37: haha, watch changing within one second! To be honest: awesome videos & work, respect!

Great job!

I'd think if you do it only 75% then rolling it over will be way harder. You might want to make the top removable. But a real nice jig / frame!

Nice job!

Very nice, a lot of guts for that.

Nice work..

What a great idea. You are very fortunate with that workspace and tools.

I very much like the fact that you are happy to show where things have gone wrong - I believe we learn more from mistakes than when everything is perfect. But with this subject matter I think you missed the opportunity to add more technical content. Sizes, steel type, jointing techniques etc. I'm no engineer, but it looks as though the fixing points are well below the center of gravity for the car. Surely this will result is strong stresses/distortion of the shell when it is orientated onto its side. You seemed to anticipate this by the very gently rotation. Would it help to have diagonal bracing into the top if the engine bay and the boot area?

What size box section did you use for this @jethro?

Good Job

Why did you go with this design instead of a traditional rotisserie? Nice work, keep it up!

Just remove the upper part and weld straight bar. I don’t think that you need to but the car on the roof

😎👍

looks awesome, going to look if i can get my junior scanned in cad at my school. Then i might be able to make a cad model for a rotisserie with the car in mind. if it works i will share the production drawings of it as it looks like there is a lack of it for alfas online.

hey ALFA-Fan.... it was my absolut 1° car - and in 1984 cost it 660.000 italian Lire (now 330 € !!) i have the 1600 GT and 1 year later 1750 GTV what i was a stupid young man in this time - when i see the actually value i´m just CRYING....:::))) in the ´80´s and first ´90´s was normaly to change an ALFA or LANCIA (Beta/Thema ecc..) only 1-2 years.......the cost was ridicolous

how do you figure out where to attach it to the car frame?

How old are you if you don't mind my asking? You have so much experience and technical knowledge but you look really young

Such a gentleman, such great workmanship, and I bet he has women falling all over him

So much talking...
