Ok I guess it's time to tell.

It's a upper control arm from a 1955 S series Rolls Royce.

While on tour at AME Craig showed this project to me. I guess it was to be used as a limmo with a big block chevy back east somewhere. The frame rails are rotted through in several places and even beginning to buckle over the rear end. AME was contacted to make a new "bolt on" chassis.
The crew at AME can build pretty much anything you need. This and a few other projects we talked about proves it.

I was going to say rolls or bentley after the 2nd page.

You could have said the socket that fits the bolts are are 9.5/16 and I would have went right to those makes.

BS/ whitworth (sp?) is an interesting system.
