I was thinking it might be a northstar? From a caddy perhaps? Who knows

Its an LS but not sure what flavor. I referenced a certain other project I found here during our talk... he had never seen or heard of another one. lol.

I like the cradle/xmember approach better but this seemed done well enough. Can hide a lot under carpet though.

In one way, having a removable body can be nice.

If you REALLY want to find this guy, its possible. Just zoom.

Result is the "bay" is now different than it was.

well now i feel like a moron for asking
