If it's the same as the car that I've witnessed going through this, you'd remove the bumper shocks and bolt the rotisserie mounts there. Doing a resto on a rotisserie like that it really cool.

Bluekitsune - the rotisserie mounts to where the bumper shocks used to. i wouldn't mount directly to the shocks, but that would have made life easier

I don't really have any good blueprints per se, but I could take lots of pictures and give you any dimensions that you want. It makes more sense to adjust the design to what material you have on hand, or can acquire affordably. If you try to stay within a specific desidn, then you may end up spending quite a bit on steel.


If you plan on doing any body work underneath the car it really makes life much easier.
I only wish that I had built the rotisserie before I cut out all of the rust and welded in new panels. But it certainly made it much easier to clean up and pain the belly.

Thanks! I think I know how to build it now. I was just wondering where you mounted it to the Z. And sense my Z is dead atm, I'll start working on it, I have a scrap pile of metal so I shouldn't need any metal.
