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?

There's a guy in Oklahoma City, a retired wood shop instructor, who has
designed a chassis stand just like that. There's a large and a small
version. They work like champs, and he does beautiful work, as you
might expect from his previous life.

I have his contact info around somewhere if you're interested. I can
also send a drawing of the large stand as a .pdf file.
