Hello to all club members.

We just joined the club and am now the proud owners of three 1969 360 sedans. My wife, Juli, and I refer to them as our Japanese stepchildren. I believe I'm going to be able to make two drivers and pretty much sacrifice the third one for parts.

I was able to turn my first project car on its side on the rotisserie tonight and it's going to be a lot of work. Thanks to Ed I've been able to locate some of the first needed parts at fair prices.

I'll be keeping a running "Journal" of the work in progress at my website so feel free to check it out periodically for updates. It is referred to as "Project 360" in the Auto Restoration link.

Thanks for all the help I've received and will be receiving as a member to the Club.

Bob & Juli in Indiana

I would love to see photos of this rotisserie. Is it homemade, or purchased? How do you mount it to the car? And what about various fluids sloshing about - or is that not an issue? Congrats on your purchase!

Welcome Bob an Juli!

Are these the three 360's that were for sale in Texas a while back? Someone spotted a Texas plate 360 sedan in the back of truck attached to a box trailer in Las Vegas ? Was that you ?

Just curious.

You'll find good people and lots of help here.

The rotisserie is an older commercially made type that is constructed very well. I am using it for a complete restoration of the body shell and plan to paint the unit while it is on the rotisserie. I should be able to install all of the goodies that run under the car through the tunnel, also.

The three 1969 sedans that we purchased came from member Don Gibson in Warsaw, Indiana. It wasn't the three in Texas (too far away for me). There's a picture of Don standing by the three loaded on a gooseneck trailer that can be viewed on my website under "Project 360".

This should be a great project!

Here's a picture of PROJECT 360 on the rotisserie and it's sister waiting in the flanks for a similar treatment.
