I found this in my center tunnel a while back.
I could be wrong but, there's a couple of things that make me think this could be a factory "tool" (for lack of better word). It has multiple layers of Saturn/Chrome Yellow paint on it. Seems like it might have been used for pulling the tub from one area of the shop to another on a dolly. I can't find any body mounts that would line up though... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Has anyone ever seen one of these?    |

QUOTE(AndrewPokrandt @ Dec 28 2010, 09:16 AM)  Open and closing the door whle painting? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) that actually makes the most sense. I have seen the bottoms of enough doors to tell that the factory runs, run downhill meaning the dors were painted in a mounted position. The doors were also painted after assembly, as I'm sure most of us know, there is no paint under the hinges, and the bolt heads quite often have paint running onto the hinge. Cool find whatever it turns out to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
