Tips Posted 31August, 2022 Report Share Posted 31August, 2022 looks like i just cant walk past a project đ. Just purchased a 1968 SWB shell that needs to go on a rotisserie to start the metal fabrication and paint. I have purchased a generic rotisserie and rather than design and build my own attachment fittings I would first see if anyone here has some they have finished using or could assist with measurements and their experience attachment points. @patrick911 your photos show some great detail and was hoping  you maybe able to pm me with any detailed photos or measurements of where/how you attached the shell? @9er yours was a while ago but any learnings? I note you had great door cavity braces, still have them and would you move them on? I am also looking for a set of window and door braces if anyone has them as well. really any jigs that anyone might have lying around that would help with a resto. hit me up here or PM I am based in Sydney but can ship if need be JWM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 31August, 2022 Report Share Posted 31August, 2022 Seem to remember just welding square section tubing in situ for the door bracing, and that was really only because I was removing the inner and outer rockers, not much help I know. Â Rotis, picked up on front and rear bumper attachment points. Tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tips Posted 31August, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 31August, 2022 good thought JM. As i didn't really get to do a build thread on Penelope's engine due to the car being in Adelaide and covid, I should circle back though and do a thread on where it ended up and plans for her now she has finally made it to Sydney. In regards to this shell, I will be documenting the restoration/build and chasing parts that PFA members may have collecting dust.  It was started as a 911R lightweight build in QLD that has stalled, so it was an opportunity for us to grab it and continue as a shop build for Atlas Autobody in Artarmon. It may continue as an R lightweight or more of the 2.0 68 racing theme depending on if its retained for the shop or sold in collaboration with a client. There is some early interest in the later so see how we go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoHeadsTas Posted 31August, 2022 Report Share Posted 31August, 2022 Perhaps have a look back through Jeff's videos when he did Harry? He has built a rotisserie jig for the Alfarerri, perhaps he did the same for Harry and may still have details??
