Ok kids, it's time for everyones favorite passtime not involving alcohol or a particular type of jelly that has no business being on a sandwich. I think this one might be a little too easy, but we'll see. First correct answer gets yet another boot to the head.

Eeeeh.....ummmmm.....think I'm going to go get some of that jelly!

Sex toy for a robot???

 

[5wndwcpe]

A different angle perhaps ?

 

[Budnicks]

Some kind of self made frame connecters/stiffeners ?????????? just a wild guess

Mystery solved!

Is it a poormans rollcage.......No that would be a kids old swingset. Or is it a 4 link setup?

Could it be stiffiners for a convert body while you are taking it apart? Or for that matter, any body while you are chopping it up to replace panels.

Spoken like a true "27" owner :headbang:

I've started (in earnest) the resto on my '68 SS convertible and made this bracing for the car while it's on the rotissorie. As the car was not going to have a floor or quarters for the trip to the media blaster I had wanted to stiffen it up as much as possible ( insert Viagra joke here).

I made it modular so that I can remove a piece here and there without dismantling the entire unit. Likewise for bolting it in rather than welding as I have a GTX convertible waiting in line behind this one.

Home from the media dude.

The non-blasted areas are getting replaced so there was no point in stripping them. I left the trunk floor in for now to keep some integrity in the *** end of the car for travel on the open road. It'll come out easy enough.

Nice work on the jig Pete, looks like you are replacing the quarters below the body line, can you use hardtop quarters for this. I may know someone who is going to have to do the same thing!

 

[tpodwdog]

dammit......and i was gonna guess a rotisserie stiffening device...I SWEAR!

Mystery solved!

That's funny...

Thanks for the props Ken. The lower skins on the quarters are not a problem, it's the tops around the convertible top that can be problematic. Sometime in it's previous life, somebody skinned over the original quarters and made a mess of what was left. Still, hope springs eternal :grin:.
