We show you how we built a wooden tip-over jig, for our 71 Camaro RS restomod project car, as an alternative to purchasing a rotisserie. We built this wooden tip-over jig for under $150. This wooden tip-over jig should work for most f body cars. It can be modified and adapted to fit many other classic cars and projects.
Check out our website for the wooden tip over jig's measurements, materials, and cost. restocar.com/b...

Details available on the website. Build plans will be there later this week. restocar.com/blog/wooden-tip-over-jig/ A general understanding of construction materials is recommended. Stay safe! If you're here just to see the wooden tip over jig in action, skip to 23:40.

@Eli Shiloh I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.

I watched this video a few years ago and came back to it today as I'm ready to create one of these for my 55 chev and I want to give you a real shout out for the web page with all the lists and drawings that I can modify for the 55. Again, thanks and thanks!

Why do you only have 800 subscribers? This bracing system is the most genius thing I've ever seen. Best of luck to your channel, you should have 100 times this amount. Subscribed!

Dan, I somehow bumped into your video on the tip-over jig . I for sure will be replicating your effort(s) here. I am. amazed how you instructed us in a very fluid manner that makes me confident to do one also. Thank you for the details. I have 2 Trans ams that I'll be working on soon. Thanks again... I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Regards, Bert

@timothyford9009 3 года назад

Dan this is exactly what I have been looking for. I didn't want to spent over a grand on a rotisserie. I will absolutely be building one of these so that I can work on the bottom of my Camaro. Thanks.

@Andrew-vx2ls Год назад

Thank you for this thoughtful way of doing this. I will be building something like this for my Lotus Elan project to move the body around and to facilitate the painting process.

@gregknight7441 3 года назад

I made one of these over the last few days. I have a much smaller car, but the goal is the same. It worked perfectly and i made it with wood had lying around.

@chriskappes9170 Год назад

the best explained video i have seen on building this hope to do mine this weekend

@benjaminreinhardt259 Год назад

I like it. I have a 79 that I have slowly been working over the last 20 years. One recommendation - pressure treated eats metal. It's the chemicals in the wood. I would put rubber sheet between the steel and the pressure treated. Personally, I would be more comfortable with (2) 2x4s over a 4x4. 4x4s are cut out of the middle of the tree and don't have the same load capacity as a 2x4. Either way though, good design and does the job. Thanks for the video.

@DoubleRRestorations 5 лет назад

Really cool Dan! That should really help when working on the bottom of the car.

@RestoCar 5 лет назад

Thanks Russ! It definitely will make the work more enjoyable.

@janpetersen3682 4 года назад

Great idea, I just started a similar project on my 72 Camaro, so will definitely build me one of these. :)

Hi Dan. What a great idea for the home shop guy. So functional and when you're finished you can repurpose the lumber.

@RestoCar 5 лет назад

Absolutely and you don't have to figure out where to store a metal rotisserie. Thanks for checking out the video!

@robwebster6735 Год назад

@kenswitzer4133 4 года назад

Outstanding Dan. I was fortunate enough to gather enough steel to build my rotisserie with very minimal expense. I also have a good friend that is a machinist. Probably took me three weeks to finish the drawings and two to build it. What you have done is just as effective and looks great plus you can reuse the wood on later projects. 👍🇺🇸🤙😃

@RestoCar 4 года назад

Thanks Ken, it sure beats working on your back, but I’m finding there are some positions where a full rotisserie would make things easier. I thought about adding plywood to the other side so I can flip it in either direction.

@peterzinia3767 9 месяцев назад

Great work on the Jig. I was going to copy it for my '70 but it's in a 1 car garage. No room to roll it up without smashing the roof of car on the garage wall. I don't dars to try to slide the thing & I dont feel casters are a smart idea. I'll figure something out.

@dchandlerco 4 года назад

I like that you had your son sctually working with you not just handing you tools. But then he disappeared. Dont tell me you sent him to school to sit all day when dad is a teacher! Thanks for the detail. I may give this a shot before i buy a rotisserie for my vw bug

@RestoCar 4 года назад

haha, I wasn't moving fast enough for him so he decided to go do kid stuff! Most of the work involves dust, fumes, and sparks right now, but I try to get him out there for jobs like this. Thanks for checking out the video.

@jimwallburg9529 3 года назад

That is a pretty cool idea!! What kind ceiling clearance do you need to roll that over? I do not believe that would clear the lowest point of 7'5" where my garage door opener is located.

@j-dubya_4114 3 года назад

I have that same question. I’m doing an 81 T/A (same body) and was curious of the total height? I guess you can locate the end closer to the car’s side and make it lower to the ground.

@TheCanadianBubba 5 лет назад

A fellow really wants to watch out for any splits or knots in the material though, great work man !

Have you given any thought to adding casters in the resting position(horizontal) so that way it can be moved in and out of the garage in case you want to do some sandblasting or something like that

@AmeriKen1776 3 года назад

I am a new subscriber. This is just what I was looking for. Your videos are very well done and explained clearly. In your opinion, Dan, do you think this design would be able to handle it if we were to duplicate the curves on both the driver's and passenger side? That way, it would be able to tip over in both directions. I'm thinking it would, and editing in that change should be pretty straight forward. What is your opinion, Dan. Thanks.

Hi Dan...great video, thanks for posting. I want to do something similar for a 63 Studebaker hardtop, just the body, which is already off the frame.....not sure how or where to mount the rear? There are no bumper attachments there, the bumpers on this car mount to the frame. It's not a unibody. Maybe mount to a 4x4 bolted to the rear body mount holes? thanks...Joel

@Dustin.Pauley 4 года назад

Awesome video Dan, I'll definitely subscribe. I'm working on a 79 Camaro and it needs a rear floor, torque boxes, and rear frame rails. Would this work for replacing the frame rails?

@RestoCar 4 года назад

I’ve seen a lot of frame rail sections repaired on rotisseries, but not full frame rails. I’d build a chassis jig or even use jack stands on a level platform to replace the frame rails because the datum points are well documented for these cars.
