new guy signing up

[auto doug]

Hi I'm new here to this board and fairly new to this posting thing but a while back I read some post here about rotisseries and thought i'd try to make a post. I'm just an old time body restoration guy that loves the art of restoration, so after many years of doing this work I came up with a new style of rotisserie and I thought I'd share it with you guys. We recently won a best new product of the year with it at Sema check it out if you get a chance www.rollerhoop.com

Looks like you know how to do it right from the start.

Beautiufl car also

Welcome to the forum, I'm kind of new here myself but have found this to be a great bunch of olds guys. Cool rig you got there I saw something like that on Tank Overhaul and wondered why no one had something like that for the automotive world, guess you did
Oh and nice ride you got there!

Welcome to the site. Thats quite a rig for rotating a car. Sure would make life easier. Now all I need is a shop instead of just a two car garage, then purchase a lift as well......................nice dream

Welcome to the site!! Neat invention but out of curiosity what would the be reason over a traditional style? It looks like the rings and reinforcments would be in the way.

[Oldsguy]

Richard, I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks Guys
Looks can be deciving kinda like wearing a pair of safty glasses you know there there but after a while you don't even notice them, since the Hoops are so thin they don't interfer much at all, any rotisserie is a great asset to have and use and the important thing is to suport the body shell with little stress as possible and the Roller Hoop does this very well becouse it is mounting to the body shell and suporting it in board and has a much shorter distance plus there is the overhang, plus saving space in the shop is a great plus! you just need to see one in action to fully understand an appeciate what it does for you. here are a few more pictures, this is a Super Bee that is a very long unibody it was so rusty in the rear that there was no way to mount a standard end mount unit to it. Mounted in the Roller Hoop made the repairs very effecint and enjoyable

Pretty cool. Is there a maximum sized or minimum sized vehicle that can be mounted in one of those? A 4 door B/C body car is quite a bit bigger than a Cutlass (not to mention a station wagon), and an old VW Beetle is much smaller than a Cutlass or F 85.

[auto doug]

Yes I have a 63 Galaxie up in one right now and made custom 8' Hoops for it plan on putting up a 48 olds 2 dr fastback sometime as well, also the 69 Super Bee is a pretty large body and it is in the standard 7'3' Hoops and was easy to restore!

[ent72olds]

Looks to be an awesome invention...looks to be operable by one person, correct? Also, looks to be more compact than a standard type rotisserie. Does it roll around the shop fairly easily? Are you producing for public consumption yet?

[Oldsguy]

doug,
I see a '50 Oldsmobile (I think it's a '50) in the background of one of those pictures. Yours?

[auto doug]

Hey Guys sorry I've seem to have disapeareded for a while I'm not one for getting on the internet that offten, to much work in the shop, and been busy at a few shows and events demoing the Roller Hoop rotisserie, seem like every day that I work with it I like it even better the Olds in the back ground of the one picture is a 49 2dr fastback very cool looking and I guess pretty rare! I have some better pictures of it I'll try to post

[citcapp]

glad you're back

[auto doug]

Ok I'll try that agian, had to have the wife down size them here are a few of the 48 Olds 2 dr fastback, no drive train or title but it is very solid and has great patina, plan some day to build it with late model drive line ect

[72 cutlass455]

Dang that car begs for a 455 4 speed with gansta white walls.

[auto doug]

hey guys I just spend the better part of two days at a old car colection Auction over 275 classics and thousands of parts that had been setting in a field for over 50 years. Range from 1920s to 1970s almost every thing you could emagine was there for sale! I happen to buy a 1957 Olds 88 4 dr htp pretty rusty but lolts of good parts yet any body need anything let me know, I plan to cut the rear clip off to make a couch unless I get T$$ked out of it. I also have some very sad Images of some of them getting Crushed by evil equipment, I did manage to get a trailer load of front ends for future furniture projects.
