[DeTomaso] engine bay work platform

[Asa Jay Laughton]

You take out the trunk tub.
You put the work platform over the ZF.
You crawl in the compartment and have something semi-comfortable to kneel on or lean on as you “work” on the engine in places hard to get to from standing beside it.

      Julian,

      Johnny came to my house for a couple of weeks. Together we made 40
     of

      them. After two weeks of nonstop work we sold them all and the
     profit

      didn't even pay for his plane ticket. But we had a lot of fun!

      I still have the jig he created to make them, so in theory more
     could

      be made....
