    Anyway as of next weekend I will actually get to start tearing my car apart for the "WarMachine" ressurection.

    The 1000.00 bucks would go along way to covering the 17 inch Magnum 500's vs the rottisserie. However I want this car perfect. I threw down the gauntlet of challenge and plan on pooring all my heart,soul, and skill into this(oh yea money too:bouncy: ). I want my car to challange if not beat nice cars such as Mavoholic's Sprint, Dan Hine's Grabber, Dan Starnes' Stallion,and Rayzorsharp's Shelby Maverick etc..... I may even have a surprise for that "over achiever" Thomas Hackman:evilsmile :D ;) With some custom suspension and and body styling cue changes.

    I've got the talent and will pull this off. As I do this I will be doing more polls to get opinions but ultimately it will be what I want. Have a Maverickful Day!!!

    If you want it perfect, Lance, then it seems like it's a no-brainer; rotisserie all the way. (y) Go hard or go home! :bouncy:

    My undercarriage is not even close to being as detailed as "The Sprint" .... I didn't have the means to do a rotisserie restoration. If you want a nice body colored undercarriage you either need a rotisserie or tall jack stands.

    See if you can rent one, or find one on ebay close to you. Once you are done, you can resell it and recover most or all of your money. 100% needed on a uni-body car in my opinion to do it totally right. You can get by without it, but it is not the same.

    Also, make sure you have room for it in your shop! :smash:

    Lance, do it once, do it right. As Eric said, you can always sell it/rent it once you are done.

    You can always buy wheels later, do the car the best way possible.

    If a Rotisserie is available ,I say go for it...But you can make the Bottom VERY nice without it. Lonnie`s (Blown76Mav)Blue Project car is proof of that...
