I built what may have been the first rotisserie for our cars in 1987. It was published in Musclecar Review in the November issue that year, after Paul Zazarine had visited my home and saw it as a good tech article with simple plans to build.
The inspiration was a lighter duty version I saw in Street Rodder of the 26-27 T touring body fiberglass molds which looked like 2 engine stands with the bottoms joined in the middle.
Within weeks, there were a couple companies offering them for sale in Hemmings, and one company had the balls to use the photos from the article. PZ had the Dobbs Publishing attorneys issue a "cease and desist" for copyright violation.
Anyway, you've got quite a special car there. Thanks for sharing it with us.
