Now that I have my S2 body shell unbolted this becomes relevant again.
Working by myself so I have to take advantage of every available tool.
I already have a factory made rotisserie but still have to put together a specific jig for the S2.
Thinking I will try to put together some reinforcement at the door openings too.
Kind of shocked at how thin and flimsy some areas of the body are.
Also how many previously unseen repairs are needed. :(

I just flipped the body over on a dolly, did the bottom and then re-flipped it for topside repair. Body is so light the effort to make a rotisserie seemed unnecessary.

I will need to be able to push the body out of the way when not working on it so my wheeled rotisserie seems the best answer.
I already have some heavy tube for the main end to end support.
Body will temporarily sit on saw horses until the rotisserie is ready.
With the body off I will copy mounting points from the chassis.
My rotisserie ties the ends together at the bottom for less possible strain on the shell.
Pics when I reach that point.
