Rotisserie suggestions

The restoration of my 70 Cutlass is quickly turning into a total frame off. I'm doing some quick research on rotisserie's. Any suggestions. I see some of you have bought a Autolift CR 3000. For about $1000 it seems ok. Any other opinions?

Autolift is what I bought and can't complain at all. Yes it's probably Chinesium but I'm not building submarines.

Looks like it will do the job. A month ago I had a complete car, now other than the parking brake cable, the int is completely bare and that would be out too if my wife didn't have her family over for Sunday dinner.

I got mine from Greg Smith Equipment. These list for about $1300 with free shipping, but it turns out that they will sell you the new demo unit they bring to swap meets (like Carlisle) at a deep discount so they don't have to drag it home. I paid $900 for mine, including all the attachments, door bars, etc that normally cost extra. No shipping and no tax since I paid ahead of time and was out of state.

should be taking delivery on a CR3000 this week. I"d be further along but in the last 3 weeks I had a week with the flu, was over the flu for about 3 days and soon discovered I had a 9mm kidney stone and had that surgically removed on 2-21. Can't catch a break

Should have mentioned this earlier. Grease everything to the max. I used simple assembly lube but regular grease would probably last longer. Makes doing anything much easier.

I think regular gear oil would make him pass the kidney stone just as well!
