Looking for C2 body picture on a Rotisserie

[David R.]

I'd like to see a picture of a C2 convertible body on a rotisserie. I'd like to see where the center of gravity is so I can get mine set close.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks!

I have never seen or heard of it. That is something that is done with unibody cars like Mopars.

Oh, It will be done!! Trust me. I have the rotisserie and the body will be mounted to rails underneath the sill plates. I can't be that hard and somebody must have done this before. I just want to see where the center of mass is on this body.

I'll post pictures when it is done!

Pretty much c/l front to back. Peak of nose and C/L of rear license recess

Ok got it. The convert has 10 mntg points and I would use the ones at the rad support, cowl and rear of door as a minimum. I used a Noland dolly and still had to add a front support at the radiator.
I agree with the center of the nose and license light as a starting point. It will probably be a little lower unless windshield is still installed. This is an eduacated guess as I've actually have had to calculate CGs in a previous life.

Google "auto twirler corvette" and look at the photos. I haven't seen them at a show in the last few years, but was always impressed by the unit. They have a maroon/purple mid-70s car that they used for display which will show up in photos. The mounting points will be the same.

Here's the pictures of my '65 on the rotisserrie. The center of gravity is about the center of the bar I attached between the doors. I lifted the body by the bar.

1965 coupe on Auto Twirler. Very strong rotisserie, no flex. Spins all the way around with one hand.
