Okay ladies, gents and all ships at sea. It's time once again for everyone's favorite game show....

That's nice, but what the hell is it ?

Here are the rules : I post up a picture of some kind of contraption relating to our beloved Mopars and you have to guess what the application is. Wild *** Guesses are highly encouraged and as in years past, a correct answer will net the winner an all expenses paid boot to the head.

Good luck.

Looks like more work than its worth setting it up just to remove a hood the is propped up to begin with.

Its a hood mounted boat winch to winch your boat up onto your roof rack.

If it is a tool to help install a hood, by yourself, I sure could have used one last year. I had to wait till I had two helpers to re-install mine. No way you can do it by yourself without scratching someting.

I had one of those, just a cheap one but it was a time saver. And back saver!

Hook a chain to it and start cranking the handle.......it is a tie rod straightener!!

I'm starting to think it is a modified dry-wall hanging jack.

I bought one like this....

...and damn John, took you all of three seconds.


As I am a one man shop, the wife works second shift and the cats lack opposable thumbs (therefore of little help) it's nigh impossible to hang/remove a hood without damage all by my lonesome. I could enlist the help of the neighbors kid, but it could be weeks before he's vertical during daylight hours.

Gentleman, I present the answer to all your hood hanging prayers...behold the

Hood-O-Matic

It slices, it dices, it cuts tin cans and tomatoes with ease. Okay, okay, maybe not tin cans, but it does work damn well.

Where you with this a couple of months ago? I waited patiently for the opportunity to have two extra people at my place to help install my freshly painted hood. I even cut myself some 2" studs to make the installation easier. Place them in the hood hinge bolts holes, then remove them one at a time while replacing the bolts.

Is that a Desoto?
