    You might want to step back and rethink a few things---The rotissier that I have I bought at the goodguys show up in Wisconsin a few years ago built by a company down by Putman Ind(just sw of Indy) They had it displayed with a mustang on it and a little 120 (maybe less) was standing there rotating it with one hand!!!! of course this takes a little experimitting to find center balance points but with the mounting arms/plate system they have its easy to do ----KISS SIMPLE!!!!

    I got it loaned out right now or would post some pics---

    Another thing to consider is that if you use hydraulic or any type of power to turn the body you are inducing a hella lotta twisting strain into the body structure----something you probably don't want to do---
    The safetest way to rotate is by hand and work on the balance until you get it so you can do it alone and with one hand!!!

    Also talking about flexibility of old 70+ bones--I got a remote switch button for my tig torch so I don't have to twist so much to push down a foot pedal---

    Now back to work as I'm cleaning out bottom of the Sunnen CK10 and changing the fluid $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
