       The nice thing about a rotisserie is you can position the car to the 
best angle for welding.  I can and do weld upside down, but I am not good at 
it.  Plus gravity definitely helps the molten puddle meld into the surrounding 
metal.  Most things that I have welded upside down get the welds ground down 
and done a second time just to get a good job.
