Some finishing touches on the rotisserie

Almost there - Gussets are welded in, pins in place, seams are finished.  Almost time for paint.  Here's a view of what we have just going into the paint process.

Now its time for paint - Gave each piece a scuffing with an 80 grit and some scuffing with a texture pad on a die grinder.  Then - a wipe down with lacquer thinner...



And finally - Some final assembly



All in all - things are looking great with a coat of gloss black.  The only lesson I learned here - do the spraying outside.  Even with a rattle can the overspray was crazy.  I spent an hour wiping down the floor with lacquer thinner to get up the overspray that was beyond the paper I had laid down.

Next steps - subframe connector installation; font suspension installation, and replacing the rear panel holding the tail lights.
