I did my best to try to copy the one Eastwood sells. I think it's called an autotwirler? I tried to make mine as light as possible, It's just for blasting and painting shell's . I would think it wouldnt be very safe with a drivetrain on the shell or any heavy parts on the body, but it feel's very solid and work's great. It was alot of fun to make.......but now the real fun can start building this 65 ply sedan. 6135188-65016.jpg (273 downloads)

I bought a 65 2dr sedan post from the b-body postings of moparts and had it shipped to my house. The car was a total waste of money!!! I spent way to much money for that car. Everything on it was junk....it was rotted-out,smashed and full of bondo. I think the glass was even rusty!!!lol. After looking the car over I decided it would be less work for me to just find a cheap 4dr and do a 4dr-2dr conversion. Well here's what I got. 6140332-654dr183.jpg (188 downloads)

There are tons of 4 doors out there that are rust free candidates for this and dirt cheap compared to their 3 door counterparts!
