Hood Holder / Stand

[ Mods. I didn't know if this should be posted here or in the Projects forum, but since it is Cub-specific I put it here. ]
Had been thinking about building one of these for a while and finally did so over the Thanksgiving holiday.
Found a piece of pipe that slide into and rotated easily in my engine stand...
Welded on some "ears" and "antlers"...and it was done.
Took me longer to layout the lengths of the supports than to assemble it.
It rotates 360 degrees, so if used for painting you can paint top and bottom at the same time.
Another nice thing is that it doesn't require much storage space...pull it out of the stand and hang it up.
Test before painting.
