1991 suburban just body no window, doors, interior nothing but the body and its off the frame....any idea on how much it weighs? Any one rolled one on its side using some kind of rig to paint under? Pics? Might buy a rotisserie but there a few grand...might try building something for cheaper any ideas would be great and thanks in advanced.
 
Ok i think the next move im going to do is use 2 engine hoists. Weld up a brace in the rear from the back body mounts to the 2nd from back mounts up to about center of the door opening with a 2.5 inch tube coming out of it to go into the engine hoist then the first body mount from the front up to another 2.5 tube to go into the other engine hoist in the front of the body.....ill let yea know how it goes :dunno:

Have you seen this site? http://redwingsteelworks.com/free-plans/ Might be good for some ideas. Also there are a couple of low buck ideas here. I'm not sure of the engineering though.
