The front assembly with nothing on it
I thought this front assembly piece was really cool. Modern cars don't have pieces like this since this piece would only be used on a unibody car (meaning no frame). I thought it was cool because there are a lot of important things attached to it. The motor is mounted on it, the steering is mounted on it, all of the suspension. Then that one big piece with all that important stuff attached to it is bolted to the car.

The next thing I did was get the rotisserie. My uncle has a friend that restores cars as a hobby and he already built a rotisserie for himself, so we asked him if we could borrow it and use it for our restoration. He was happy to lend it to us. So we went to his house and picked it up and brought it to the school in a trailer and re-assembled it in the garage in the school.
This is what the rotisserie looks like. Its fully adjustable for length and height.
We put rolling carts under the legs of the rotisserie so its easier to move and to give it the ability to be rolled onto a trailer.
We got some steel beams cut that slide onto the arms of the rotisserie. We are using these to mount the car to the arms of the rotisserie. We are welding two bolts onto each of the four beams which thread through the bumper mounts on the body of the car.
We raised the body of the car up on the lift and then rolled the rotisserie under the car. We are then going to lower the car into the rotisserie and put the bolts through the bumper mounts to hold it
