The jig wasn't used until virtually all of my chassis was welded, the jig only became useful when I was doing things like painting prep, actual painting especially, preparation of aluminium panels, and a few small welded brackets and things. This is not a totally standard build so there has been a bit of fiddling about with things over time.
I wouldn't have considered hanging up a half finished chassis - such as only tack welded or something. The idea of using a table is so you keep your car straight, hanging it up in a jig like this put BIG loads on it. |

I think that is a cracking rotating chassis jig Jimbob
Ideal for what you have used it for. That youtube vid really made me smile, well done for such an entertaining video. Shown it to all of the family & has entertained everyone I don't think anyone meant to imply that you had welded your chassis up on that.

just a thought and ill probably get shouted at but if you welded it with it sagging but only welded the top welds it probably wouldnt pull as the weight would keep it from moving. also once all the braces are in its a pretty strong structure.

I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to fabricate an open lattice bed to clamp the chassis to & then fix that to the rotating A frames Personaly, I have seen & used a fair few fully rotating fabrication jigs. As they say, where's there a will, there's a way

Your darn right about the real deal jigs being heavy duty & I guess that sort of thing is out of the question for a One off job. If I were to set up a dedicated chassis assembly business I would invest the time & money in the correct jigwork. There you go Mark ...Filling my head with silly ideas
