Nice to know that everything is squared away before the pretty paint goes down. My biggest concern is that I'll damage the paint

I plan on getting my car painted in the next year or so i just don't have the room to do something like that...or the know how Maybe sometime later.

The use of proper jack points is greatly understated . Sorry for the extra work involved fixing that crap.Dave

Don't have any plans for the rotrisserie, Alex actually built it. I can easily pull a few measurements for you if ya like and get some detailed pics. The problem is going to be making it universal and still having it with the roof as close tot he ground as possible. Meaning, the measurement I give you from the pvot point to the floor will onlt definately work with an FC, might need to adjust it for the FB or an FD.

Next time the comp makes it to the garage I'll get some measurements and a few pics for ya.

If I could do it again I would definately do the undercoating before the paint. My biggest fear is some of the shit is gonna run into the paint or I'm going to damage it somehow. Not a fun feeling by any stretch of the imagination. For you though Tyler, you've got a CA car so you shouldn't have nearly as many problem spots as I do. Unless of course the PO was a moron like mine and destroyed the "jack points." I still haven't put up the money shot
My car spent her first 9 years in VT, claimed it was stored for the winter in a garage but if there was no vapor barrier, it might as well be outside, concrete is fine, but some of the garages in VT are just a barn built on a mudpuddle. It would be easy enough, just time consuming, to get under the car, strip the suspension, drop the tank and the lines, go hog wild cleaning, and then roll the undercoating/bedliner on. If I didn't have any repairs to make that's what I would've done. It's all the welding and cutting and cleaning and grinding nad plasmaing and etc etc etc you get the point that is just much MUCH easier and quicker of the car is upsidedown like this
