Cab Rotissirie

Post by leo »

hello all, i plan to start the tear down/rebuild on my 67 Merc M-100. It needs a partial floor replacement and am just wondering if any of you guys have had been in this situation and what the easiest way to do it would be. i need to patch a few holes in the floor, cab mounts, cab supports and cab corners. i was thinking of rigging up a rotissirie but the issue there is i dont know how to mount it on it with having good accessibility at the floor :hmm: any previous experiences you would like to share or maybe just an idea you have is much appreciated. Thanks guys. :D

i'm not sure a rotisserie would be good to use on a cab. i think most guys lay the cab on the back wall. and fix the floors that way. i cant think of any way to bolt the cab on both ends to use a rotisserie.

leo,
I've seen several guys here use them through the years, (and thought that Keith had actually used one on his build)? I ran a search and did not find it. I do also remember a few guys using two engine stands as a rotisserie, maybe somebody else will pipe in soon with more info... :roll:

A futon mattress works much better than a rotisserie for me.

Lay futon on the floor, roll the cab back onto it.
