question for reenmachine

I don't see any problem with it as long as the car is secured properly and is transported level. The loads it experiences this way aren't that different than it sees when it drives down the road on its own wheels. I have the car well supported on the front and rear frame rails and very securely bolted on. I am totally comfortable with it.

There is no way that an inch incline could affect the car. There is barely any difference in the loading on the car. Now, I could see how bouncing down the freeway could affect things if you have a substandard, super-flexible rotisserie that would allow the front and rear to move independently from one another, and then only maybe.

Like anything, you can always find a way to make it screw up your car if you try hard enough. I regularly use a 3-lb. mini sledge hammer to great effect when working on cars, and frankly it's one of my most useful tools. However, hitting the car square in the hood with it would do significant damage. If you use your head and a good rotisserie, you'll be totally fine.

If you have a convertible, use door bars for reinforcement for sure though.

P.S. In the future, PM or email me as I don't always have time to scan the forums.
