No, no, no. Do not change large sheet metal panels while the vehicle is on the Rotisserie. Especially quarter panels.

I agree. I know of a demon that had quarters and a bunch of sheetmetal work done while on a rotisserie. nothing fits and it needs to be cut back apart now.

If you want the panels off for the blaster make youself a dolly to transport the shell to the blasters. When you get it home put it on a stable platform and replace your panels. After that go to the rotisserie for under side owrk ect. When doen with that return to the floor for bolt on panel alignment. The bodies actually flex quite a bit when suspended on a rotisserie.

I lower my rotisserie so the car is supported on jack stands when I do quarters and other larger panels. I wouldn't be transporting it either on just a rotisserie after panels are removed.

Just have the blaster hit the seams where you will be looking for spot welds on the panels you will be replacing. One benefit of this way is you get most of the sand out when you remove the panel plus it stays rigid for the transport

I have had my Charger on a rotisserie for several years with no ill effects. However, when it came time to replace the quarter panels and rockers, I determined that the only way to sustain the original dimensions of the car was to properly support it, and use the actual factory diagram for measurements. I built this rolling body jig, which is similar in style to the ones at the AMD restoration shop. Each of the vertical posts supports the body at key locations, relative to the factory drawing.
