I can't be the only one this idea has occurred to. When rebuilding
automobile engine blocks, there is a stand that bolts to the back of the
engine block, you can turn and lock the block in any position, to make the
installation of parts much easier. Has anyone come up with such a device to
bolt to boatanchor chassis' that would make repair or restoration easier?

I have seen rotatable support fixtures for antique radios
