Great start, but you're going to need to offset the pivot point or the car will be off balance.
Edit to add mine is offset by 155mm to give a neutral balance...

Hi Harry.
The pivot point that the shell rotates around on your jig is in line with the mounting points for the chassis rails.
If you look at where my chassis rail mounts are compared to the pivot point on my spit there is an offset of around 155mm

Yours will be top heavy and the car will want to be upside down all the time, also it will be difficult to turn the right way up.
With the 155mm offset the whole car can be spun and left at any angle without strain.

oh right, well I've still got plenty of steel left over, might give it a go and if it's too difficult mod it, appreciate the advice!
