As some of you know I am building a Pro-Street 454 Vega. I wanted to sand blast the entire car and built this jig to rol the car over. Cost was less than $100 and can hold at least 5 times the weight of the car.
I wouldn't call that redneck, I'd call it practical engineering.
Not bad!

That's way too well designed and built to be redneck. That is a great solution to the problem at hand. Great job!
Now if you had flipped it up and it kept going right through the wall......then you've got a shot at being redneck!
I've seen plenty of pics of steel rotisseries which work well but are expensive. I think you are brilliant!! Good work.

To be redneck you'd have to have someone saying "Watch this" and then a shot of the disaster that followed (with mandatory injuries, death being optional).
To be redneck you'd have to have someone saying "Hold my beer and Watch this" .
Fixed it for ya!!

I can't tell from the video: Is the forward "thing" - in any way - linked to the rear "thing" unit or whatever?
Would you use a saftey block when it's tipped on it's side?
Yes the front jig is the same as the back jig. They are connected together with a 14' 2*4 for safety. Not sure if connecting them together was needed but would not know it till the car was on it side. Thats not when I wanted to find a problem. I did make up some blocks to put on the floor just in case. Car is very stable on its side and should make this project much easier to work on.
