Default building a rotisserie

I'm building a rotisserie and I was wondering if anyone knows the cener of
gravity of a '65 '66 shell. I'm not sure but I think I heard was the center
of the radiator opening in the front. What about the rear? I want to avoid
any costly and timely trial and error period. TIA

If you want some plans that work very well, let me know.

Yes I'm aware of google but I'm trying to avoid a lengthly search of this
one piece of information by asking someone who may have built one. The first
page you directed me to, does not contain any useful information.

Hi Lucas. I've already completed both stands using 3" x 3" square tubing and
2' hydraulic rams to raise the car to spinning height. It will pivot on 4
lug front drums and spindles and utilize the rear backing plates and brake
assemblies to lock the body in place using the parking brake mechanism. I
just need to know the center of gravity to make the adapters.
