I love it when a plan comes together....

Not a lot of time on the rotisserie this weekend, but some visible progress.  I was able to put together the first portions of the adjustible structure that the car hangs from (via the pivot).  I was able to finish putting together the mounting points for the hyraulic ram as well.  Some updated pictures below.

attaching the upper ram bracket was a little touchy.  In the end - I think I would have moved the pin further out to get me more space, but I ended up making a small modificatino to the bracket to allow it to attach and center itself on the ram. 

Here's a picture of the way things looked as I left them tonight.  Some good progress overall.  It all hangs square for the most part - which is comforting the time I've put in was worth it.  The lower ram platform will need to be shortened (I cut it long in the first place) but that was the only issue I was able to find.
