    By far the best. Best chicken, ever.



    As far as cars, not so much.

    I have this type and have used it for over 15 years.

    The unit is a beast and I have had everything from full size sedans (Chevelles, El Caminos) to a F150 super cab, to 65-73 Mustangs, 79-93 Mustangs, Camaros, and Trans am(s). It takes a bit to get the car on the unit and balanced properly, but once it is then it is easy to rotate and move around. I have trailered cars on the unit to a Media Blaster without issues to.

    This is another style that I really like and IMHO works really well for the average home garage. I have considered buying one of these for my house here in CO. The older rotisserie is down in TX at my shop.

    I built one as well. I modified a couple of cheap engine stands. Not the fanciest but it did the job.

    On the "thrifty" side, I've seen this done, and it works well if you have the room. A simple set of casters or dollies also makes it mobile.

    Somebody in here made their own out of wood, similar to above and I recall from the pictures/descriptions that it was pretty simple and worked out well for the average garage.

    I picked up this one but haven't gotten it setup yet. Had plans to build one but after pricing it out found that for 150 more I could just purchase one.

    I made my own version of the Rolltissiere for my 82 GT since I didn't have my good one and didn't have the funds for the Hoop Roller. I made mine double sided so I could roll the car either direction. Takes up a bit of space in the garage when installed, but work really well for the $$.

    the Hoop one Looks like it would be in the way working on the 1/4's or wheel wells. Plus could not paint car when on it. I priced out using harbor freight engine stands and steel. I decided for the price difference and time involved buying would be better. Also looked like HF used metric steel sizing. I ended up not doing anything at this time.
