You probably dont care but does anyone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I somehow forgot the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me.

[@nathanuriel2073]

@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.

[@nathanuriel2073]

@Eli Shiloh It worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass!

[@elishiloh2691]

@Nathan Uriel Glad I could help =)

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!

[@PurpleHelmet]

I love using timber for stuff like this, it's amazing how many folks get freaked out thinking it isn't strong enough 😂. How have you not got 1 million subs, fantastic videos Sir

[@EV-wp1fj]

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!

[@kumakaroshi117]

I don't care how late I am, this completely blew my mind. Thank you so much for this. I truly appreciate it.

[@gerryj8839]

I'm a Mustang guy. I'll be stealing this and adapting for my application. Nice work!

[@timothyford9009]

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.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

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.

[@bertenerny7867]

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

[@gregknight7441]

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.

[@Andrew-vx2ls]

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.

[@kenswitzer4133]

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]

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.

[@396k20]

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

[@RestoCar]

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

[@dchandlerco]

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]

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.

[@DoubleRRestorations]

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

[@RestoCar]

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

[@janpetersen3682]

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

[@RestoCar]

Awesome! I added diagrams with dimensions for the jig to the website a couple hours ago for another viewer. Good luck with your build! restocar.com/blog/wooden-tip-over-jig/

[@janpetersen3682]

@@RestoCar Thanks. 👍😊

[@jimmckenzie5144]

That was fantastic engineering and a perfect DIY rotisserie for my little MG Midget. I'll try and send you a pic when I get it on its side!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@markmullins894]

Hands down the best design and video of a wooden tip over jig. I bet you wish you had tipped that car over before you did the tunnel repair!

[@chriskappes9170]

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

[@graham3282]

Dan the car wood / lumber man, brilliant ! Save a fortune on long reach jacks and stands. All these lumber vids fantastic well done .. you are the car wood / lumber - Scotty or Car Wizard, gratitude and regards from England in the UK.

[@markwilson9196]

Damn, I just bought a rotisserie! Great job!

[@peterzinia3767]

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.

[@Thomzombie303]

nice dude! I want to do this for my 66 bug, only thing ill do different is make it to where i can tilt to either side.

[@greasemonkeygarage6972]

great job, starting on a 79 Camaro, and this will be perfect for my small garage, thanks

[@robwebster6735]

Thanks for your videos. Your doing a great job!! Learning a lot!!

[@greasemonkeygarage6972]

Works like a charm, thank you for taking the time and making a list and video

[@RestoCar]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. I was pretty hard on my car getting the torque boxes installed and the jigs are held up great.

[@jimprice6957]

I built one and put it on a 70 model Chevelle and it work

[@BustedClassicGarage]

What an awesome idea, that's going to make your job so much easier.

[@RestoCar]

Thanks! It's definitely going to make things easier and now I'm looking forward to tackling the underside of the car. These would be great for a C-10 bed and cab!

[@DonnieShipley-yv2ld]

This worked amazingly, thanks for the video...

[@nevermind7234]

Subscribed. Great video. Really appreciate the detailed plans and materials list. Loving the content!

[@jimwallburg9529]

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]

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]

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

[@RestoCar]

Thanks and great tip! Definitely check over the lumber looking for those.

[@bradycsummers]

I've been researching how to do this myself, thanks for the plans and walkthrough

[@RestoCar]

You're welcome! The tip over jig is working great.

[@joebazaldua1559]

Thanks Dan for the video feel more confident now to build one for my 72 camaro

[@RestoCar]

Glad to help! I'll have the plans on the website this weekend. Are you sharing your build online anywhere?

[@hydrobaz73]

Not really, maybe when I get everything ready I will start a forum on nastyz28

[@rayf268]

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

[@wirekat]

Great video - Thanks!

[@jimmckenzie5144]

I used your design and have rolled my Midget several time so I could clean the schmutz underneath!!! Here's a pik.

[@SuperRicardo102]

Genialne rozwiązanie.

[@AmeriKen1776]

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.

[@mini_worx]

Great job.

[@Gordon-c2u]

Good job...God bless❤😊

[@dkzgarage6480]

Awesome! What a great idea...... it sure beats working on your back!

[@RestoCar]

It sure does! I was putting off the underside of the car because of having to work on my back. Looking forward to tackling some of it this weekend.

[@benthompson4934]

Nice work! I will be following.

[@RestoCar]

Thanks! Enjoy the videos.

[@47Earwig]

Just found your channel through a co worker. Wish I had enough room in our garage to make this

[@RestoCar]

Check out budget buildz. He made one for his Porsche that he keeps outside! That would be fine short term. Thanks for checking out the channel. What are you working on?

[@47Earwig]

@@RestoCar my dad's 65 Mustang coupe. If it wasn't so cold and we are still mostly bare metal we would definitely make something like this outside but we're almost ready to move underneath it in a couple weeks

[@joelfisher8334]

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]

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]

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.

[@TK42138]

Good work.

[@mercedesmaintenance.6339]

How heavy do you think the body is?

[@matthockley8535]

This is very impressive. I need to think about how I could adapt this idea for a G-body (body-on-frame).

[@mercedesmaintenance.6339]

Also, did you use 3/4 ply?

[@dalejrfan820002000]

Looks great
