I have one but its so far packed in the back of our garage with general household stuff that it would take an entire weekend just to unpack everything out of the garage just to get access to it. Ive had about 6 other people ask me the same thing the last few years as well.

Sounds like 'the opportunist' should take a little time and dig it out and make some $$ off it since the demand is high, and make some money to invest in the '66 to get it back on the street!  stirpot

 I hear you Stan.tiphat Actually though, the rotisserie was part of the investment and the opportunist did strike in a way, The car needs 2 floor braces replaced underneath, which I got all the braces from Dave Seitz a few years back off a clean AZ wagon that had been parted by about 3 other people before he got it, Karl, then to Brett Jensen in Alexandria where body was completely cut off the car leaving the entire floor pan still attached to the frame like some sort of A body flatbed, which Dave needed the frame for his wagon (body mounts came off like butter with an impact wrench and no lube, no body in the way so I watched the bolt come out from the mount in the pan while reaching around underneath with the impact in my hand if you see what I mean). He cut all the braces out along the floor pan w/ a few inches on each side with the plasma and sold the entire set to me. 

In order to replace those braces, the body needs to come off the frame which means I would eventually need a rotisserie to really do it right. At that time, the cost of steel had gone through the roof so no chance of making one cheaper then you could buy it, when Brad announced he was selling his, Derek posted first but passed the deal to me. Knowing I will eventually need one down the road (for this and the 69), the opportunist actually did make the strike. Its especially nice that it breaks down into several parts so it can be transported easy. I hauled it home in my Tahoe.

Completely understand Chris.  I learned the hard way with the vert resto how important it is to have good underpinnings, and rockers are a big part of it.  I think we all thought your '66 was a solid driver, but the more you tell us about it, it sounds like it does need some serious love, which the rotisserie will certainly help with when you are ready to do it.  Keep the faith brother!  beers

Invest the few hours and dig the mutha out... Collecting dust isn't the same as collecting $$$ - 6 possible rentals/loans?, it would have paid for itself by now dude! cuckoo

(Then there's the added benefit of "free off-site storage"... like when I loan out my engine hoist. "Oh no, you don't have to get it back anytime soon - I know where it is - just keep it as long as you like!")

Looks like the Opportunist has been overtaken by Mr. Packrat in this case.  

Chris, I'm sure Tony would help you dig it out; it's not looking like your going to be using it any time soon.  

I like the wooden rollover stand looks easy to build and there’s room for improvement. Make it roll both ways, install wheels, stiffen it for transport.  Make it adaptable to a four post lift to remove the body from the stand and install it back on the frame. When the cars done you can toss it on the bonfire and roast brats and burgers.

Chris just pull it out to make some coin and make room.

Got two old engine stands donated... Looks like the cutting and welding begins.

 They can work for that but plan on a lot of time and material to make them stable enough for a body.
