Default Rotating Chassis Jig

I built a jig for holding and rotating my chassis while working on it.

You will not believe how useful this thing was when doing everything from painting to welding to whatever.

I have made a silly video of it below:

Would highly recommend this if your at this stage and have an afternoon spare.

very good you seem to have added quite alot of extra bracing to your chassis is there a particular reason for this?

I have seen chassis jigs made in a similar way, would make it a lot easier to weld up as non of that clambering malarky only to lean on a joint you just welded.....how many times and how many pairs of ovvies I went thru I dunno
