never used it but it was developed at the body shop i used to use before i made my move to california. Very smooth rolling ability, and works pretty well overall w/out being as long as some of the other set ups. If you call them to get one, tell them Brandon w/ the silver Lexus sent you, don't know if you will get a deal, but i spent enough w/ them that you should get one!

How in the world do you get the car in that thing?
That thing is crazy... I can forsee everthing i want to work on would have a bar running right thru it. I borrowed one from a friend when i rebuilt a old truck and it was homemade, I had intentions of building my own but lack of present need and the price of steel changed my mind. This one attached to both ends of the frame.

yes, the winches allow the car to be put up on jackstands, the rotisserie is assembled around the car and then with the winches you lift the car off the jackstands.
I have rolled this rotisserie with a car on it up onto a trailer and transported it that way.
dismantled, that thing can be transported in the back of a small pickup (with the tailgate down)

I never saw him install or remove it, but i did see a first gen Mustang do a 360° rotate w/ a flip of his wrist. If i remember right it was bolted in at the shock towers up front, not sure exactly where it was bolted in the rear.
The two things i liked about it over a traditional set up are the fact that it doesn't make the car like 6' longer so you cold potentially store it in a normal single car size garage if needed, and it seemed to rotate far easier than the other style do. the bottom of the holders have wheels or bearings or some sort in them to allow it rotate like it does. Thats why in the video the sandblaster is just rolling it across the ground rather than having it in the stands.
