I've seen these in the ads for a year or so... saw my first ones in the flesh this summer at Carlilse and Hershey. I was extremely impressed. Were I going to 
go to the extreme of using a rotisserie, I'd go this route.

If you're doing a full resto, I think this would be a great idea. I also think it would be less stressful on the chassis than the "normal" rotisserie. Only negative 
is that you have to have the suspension mounted.

On the other hand, these guys built their own:
