This project illustrates the value of having a rotisserie stand. My friend, Stretch, told me this summer, "First thing, build, or have built, a rotisserie, then take the body off the frame. It makes the work easy and fun." Wise words from one of the best.

The body panels are stunning - straight as an arrow for sure and in black - that counts!
