Lets see. There are hydraulic rams so it's compressing layers of something to be laminated or glued up. The two platens in the middle don't have much gap. I'd guess it's the balsa wood floor panals that are laminated to carbon fibre skin's.

It looks to me like it essential to the main frame flux master. Obviously it has bent the prism of the C6 orbital warning light system.
The last time I saw one off these was just before the announcement of the latest Camaro.

The only thing we don't know about the LT1 is how it tastes.

OK, I finally figured it out...this solves everything.

The C7's rear end is made from a heavy duty yet pliable vinyl and this is the mechanism underneath the 'skin' that moves it into whatever shape you want. No more whining about the look of the rear end! You just buy the app for the booty you want and it moves everything into the shape of any year Corvette, as long as the Corvette has blocky tail lights.

It does add about 500 lbs but what the heck!

It's a tight closeup of the new electro-hydraulic glove box mechanism. It can just open in the conventional manner or, if there is no passenger in the car, it slides out and turns so the driver can access contents at speed. It also includes a leak proof compartment for those times when the driver's zeal exceeds the passenger's stomach's retention capabilities.
Cool, huh?

I know what this is. This is an espresso machine. No, no wait. It’s a snow cone maker. Is it a water heater?

Looks like a Spider Monkey extractor tool that I use at work regularly. They're a pain in the *** to get out of crates.
