You are probably going to need to build yourself some sort of jig so that you can maintain the true position of the car and relocate your new rear frame rails.

I've been recently looking at rotisserie's to help my restoration. But Being that my summer job will just barely make enough money to buy all the sheetmetal i need to repair the rust, it's a tough decision to spend that much money. If you have an everyday job and can afford to restore a car in the first place i can understand buying one, but being that i'm a teenager and only have a summer job to support my restoration is it really worth it? Another question is, what happens if your rear frame rails are ROTTEN through and through and you barely have a trunk left? The rotisserie won't really serve you any good untill you get your trunk and frame reails replaced, so by then your already halfway through rus repair? I could see borrowing a friends or renting from someone, but in my case, what's the sense in buying one?Any advice for me?
I would personally do that type of work on the ground anyway, then if you have access..mount it on a rotisserie to clean up welds and prep the body after it's solid again... theres nothing you can't acheive with 4 good axle stands and a level... a rotisserie isn't needed it just makes some of the job easier
