I am ready to buy. I see a few out there, but looking to find someone who is familiar with Mopars. Anyone have any luck?

Advertise for a used one in the want ads. Any brand will work on a Mopar. I have one, it came from a welding shop in Indy, I can't think of a name at this time. I'll post a link.

Here's a link: web page

There should be some used one's out there. I made my decision on who to buy from by location. I drove up to there shop and picked mine up to save freight and To see how they mount cars. Very worth while as I learned alot that day. Good luck with your car.

Eastwood also sells the Auto Twirler for less $$ that waht Auto Twirler has on the website.

Also check out US Car Tool. They are a little more $$.

I have been researching these for a year or two and still have not bought one. I would like to find a used one, but have not found one locally.

Also...Maybe 6T6cuda will see this thread. He recently bought a new one from a place I'm not sure of. I saw his and helped with his car a little and his rotisserie is very nice. I think it was a little cheaper than mine but worked just as nice or better. Hopfully he'll see your post.

Here is the one I got; I like it:

http://www.derekweaver.com/update/products.aspx?id=63

It has gone up $100 from when I bought it a few months ago, and the "local" place that sells the same one has gone up $200; so if you want one I would buy now...

It is nice; the wheels could use some work; but overall very nice and well built - no complaints - it came with all the mounting hardware & door braces in that price...

FWIW: it is make in China; but it appears well made.

i also own a whirly-jig. (you can go to their website and read my testimonial) after i sandblast a car on mine, i usually spin the car as fast as i can back and forth for 10 or 15 min.to get the sand out. i would be afraid to do that with some of the cheaper ones.but i bought mine for the long haul.i'll be using it for the next 20 years.

I bought mine over ten years ago and have used it on three of my own cars.
Two friends have used it for their cars and the body shop has used it on at least three others.
Very happy with it.

I am using one of his right now. It is a friends.

There are pictures on my site below.

Here is the longwoods site. Good luck


edit: I just went through the site and there is no reference to the rotisserie nor has there been. But I know he build them and sells them give him a call if you are interested.

I just orderd one from Eastwood. I wasn't quite sure which mounting brackets to get, so I got 1 set of leaf spring mounting brackets (Eastwood say Mopar A&E bodies for these) and the Uni plate brackets for mounting unibodies.

I got the unpainted Plus model w/ an 8" offroad wheel kit to make it easier to move it in and out of the garage. I should have it in 3 weeks.

I am concerned with the extended (open) length. I have talked to few places and have heard 15' to 19'.6". I plan to do B-body cars so I am not sure what would be too short? I can measure, but just want to see if anyone has any experience here.
