I figured this was a better place for this thread. Where can i get a auto rotisserie for a good price? What hard ware do I need to mount to the car? Does anywhere rent these?

If you look hard enough (and far enough) I'm sure you can find someone, somewhere to rent you one.
I've seen them for sale for less than a grand on Craigslist, numerous times.
As far as the mounting (based on the ones I've used):
The ideal setup has a removable slide in-type "turning" bracket for both front and back (think trailer hitch/receiver).
One simply bolts up the front turning bracket to the body, using the same mounting points as the front bumper.
The rear turning bracket is then bolted up, using the rear bumper mounting points.
Once they are both bolted up, you lift your car--one end at a time--with a cherry picker (eng. hoist), until it is high enough to slide the turning brackets into the top tube of the rotisserie.
Just like how you bolt up the turning bracket to an engine, then lift the engine up until it's the right height to slide into your engine stand.
On the ones I've used, we also used a come-along (cable puller) on each end to keep it from "rolling".
There as as many different rotisseries (and mounting systems) as there are cars, it seems, so you just have to find the one you want to
buy (or rent, or borrow) and make sure the seller instructs you
in the mounting procedure....preferably BEFORE you and he are hundreds of miles apart !!
Google "auto rotisseries" or "car rotisseries"....the "return" is quite informative....lots of "hits" and lots of info out there.
(Check with local car clubs and other gearhead-maniac organizations in your area...you might get lucky and not have to spend any
of your money !!)
Best of Luck to you, and let us know how it works out, or if you have
any more questions !!
