Ratbox, I didn't think you were for real with the Ratbox Rotisserie. But you actually work on your car with it!!

lmao

i do have a guard but it's got lots of dents

yes i certainly do work on them like that

done it a few times now so far so good, not recomending it but it seems fairly safe

Gotta love some of your methods ratbox! might be unusual but from the snaps i've seen your cars always come out looking pretty good-and always got some sort of cool custom work done, looking forward to seeing what you do with this one mate.
regards, jimmy

With not having a rotisserie here either I have used the "Ratbox Corporation Patent Car Turneroverer" along with a few old tyres and I can say that it works very well and is cheap to buy.

I would recommend the purchase of a Ratbox Car Turneroverer to help get to all those hard-to-get-places.

Thanks Ratbox from a very happy customer

i used to have more friends but they can't take a joke

i'm good at pretty much making something from nothing most of the cars i've done and there's been quite a few were all pretty much destined for the crusher, i've found them and given them a new life

i've bought the odd one that's a going regoed car and just lowered it etc but most have been very sad to start with, thet're not flash but get there fair share of attention

FIRST I ACCEPT NO RESPOSABILLITY FOR ANY INJURIES YOU DO THIS AT YOR OWN RISK

i make the car as light as possable get something sturdy to support it and some old tyres jack the car up on the side then lift the rest of the way, put tyres under centre pillar/guttering and prop it with the pole
me and a mate lift the car, actually me and the missus did it this time but the more the merrier

remember if yor gunna have a go at this it's serious if something goes wrong it's gunna hurt

be safe

In WA some potential defendants can escape liability for 'dangerous recreational activities'. I wonder if car building is a dangerous recreational activity????

Hey Ratbox, I had missed some of your updates at the bottom of the 4th page. It's really good to see this thing moving forward as I know you struggle for motivation at times. It will be a sad day if you ever decide to hang up the tools and call it a day. Even if you did I would bet it wouldn't be too long and you would be popping up again with another fb/ek.

Looking at the last photos I would kill to have a look around your place at your toys / projects etc. Lots of old cool and interesting stuff there! Speaking of which, hows that windowless panelvan going you bought at the swap meet?

Keep up the great work
