Ha, easy is good, I like easy! Feel the same way about our compressor and 4 post lift, used to build stuff without them but as time goes by, I just can’t imagine not having these tools. I did think about just building the rotisserie but at this time it was more about time savings. This project has been on the back burner for a long time.

Started with research on the mounting points for our car, once the measurements were found used that to draw a rough plan and create a materials list. Mainly just 2x3 & 2x2 .120 wall tube with bar stock for the riser tops and we utilized used factory shackles and old bushings to attach the rear. Here’s what we used to start building ours.
Under Body Specs 67 thru 69 Camaro and Firebird Unibody Dimensions.
These measurements are modified from Fisher Body Specs, to correct printed errors in the Fisher Body manual. All measurements are center to center unless otherwise noted. The car must be set up on a level surface, for accurate measurements. A Tram Gauge is recommended for accurate results. Factory Tolerance plus or minus 1/8 inch. Note: Your car may measure out differently. This is due to a difference in measuring methods used. Most important is that the car is square and level to its self.
Horizontal Dimensions:
A = 38 1/4"
B = 35 1/4"
C = 54 3/16"
D = 44 9/16"
E = 33 3/4"
F = 76"
G = 65 1/4"
H = 33 1/2"
I = 55 3/16"
J = 66 11/16"
K = 43 7/8"
L = 44 7/8"
Vertical Dimensions:
a = 11 15/16"
b = 12 9/16"
c = 13 13/16"
d = 9 1/8"
e = 6 15/16"
f = 18 7/16"
g = 15 11/16"
Measurement Notes:
1. Center of Master Gauge hole outboard of firewall body mount
2. Center rear sub-frame to body mount hole
3. Center at rear edge of 1" gauge hole
4. Center of Master Gauge hole in bottom of frame rail
5. Inboard edge of frame rail, at centerline of rear shackle bolt hole (Figure 2)
6. Centerline of lower outboard bumper bolt holes
A. Location f: Lower surface of rail at axle housing centerline
B. Location g: Inboard edge of frame rail, at centerline of rear shackle bolt hole (Figure 2)
Makes a great steel cart also!
