Any info on this cars rear spoiler

I found a pic of this car and really like the look of the rear spoiler set up. Looks simple but I don't know the hardware. Does anyone know this, builder, owner or are familiar with the hardware used to mount and adjust it?

This spoiler was a One Off Custom build for Hot Rod Magazine editor Johnny Hunkins Using a Flat Piece of Metal I believe then Powder coated and Added the Hiems Joints to resemble the nascar Look and I am not sure if Functional or not

"Functional"...? That's funny Limey. Our cars are so damn heavy to begin with that I think you could drive thru the middle of a tornado and be fine. I'd be more concerned about the air traveling under the car ( and slowing it down)
Minus a bellypan, rather than the car being stable at 120 plus mph.
PHR did an article about how they made the spoiler when they built the car.

Functional meaning adjustable is all I Meant, And Yea I agree with driving thru Tornado

I think it is really neat how they did it. I found the article how they did it piece by piece. I was ready to do it but then thought about it more. We are going to do one on my sons '76 Celica out of lexan. I think I may explore the 69 Camaro spoiler a little more.
