Rotisserie balancing
My 65 Barracuda, balanced on the rotisserie. The rear pivot point is centered on the trunk key hole. I placed a level on the lower door jam (rocker) and adjusted the front until the bubble was centered. The height of the rear pivot was based on having the car as low as possible on the rotisserie, but still allow 360 degree rotation. The rotation of the car is done with very little effort. It does have a slight "over center" feel when passing through 90 degrees, but just for a couple of turns on the crank. There is nothing on my car...just the body shell.
