Plastic piece under car?

Hi, Hal_S550!!!
Is this a picture of your car? (Pre- side pipe install, I can safely assume).
If so, what is the name of the contraption you used to roll the car on its side? I try hard to search the forums first to see if there's a thread, but my search is pretty worthless if I don't know what to search for. Thanks to anyone who answers up!!!!

IIRC, that image is from a Ford display when the S550 first was rolled out in 2015...

If you are wanting what is holding up the car - you need a body rotisserie.

Like this? At least when you use the word rotisserie this is what I think of.

The Ford display image shows something different. With a rotisserie, you have to find a spot on the front and back of the car to attach to, and I believe that involves removing some body parts. The Ford display cradle (?) attaches to the front & rear wheels on the same side of the car (easy), then you roll the car on its side. I've seen pictures a long time ago of this cradle, but I can't remember what they are called exactly. "Cradle" in search engines for me doesn't produce any results.
P.S. -- sorry for hijacking your thread, OP. I don't intend to keep this part of the conversation going in this thread, but will switch to the appropriate thread -- if I can find it.

More pictures are there: https://mustangforums.com/articles/l-a-auto-show-flips-over-flipped-mustang-gt-convertible/

Looks to me like a custom frame that you can only be used with a crane attached to the remaining wheels.
If you've ever flipped a car upright after a rollover, you know that the impact of the wheels hitting the ground is not a small one.
