Bob, thanks for the warning about the blocks. I do have some additional ones so I could put them down flat using more of them.

I think I will bolt the "new-old" cross member in. I bolted one in a frame back in the 50's and the frame is currently in my Huckster. It worked fine for a number of years back in the 50's and still seems to work OK with the Huckster. This coupe is not going to be a points car (at least on my watch) but rather a driver. Bolting it in will not make it so a person, after me, that wants to make it into a points car can still do it.

Thanks for all the comments about how to get it back in. Next week I will have to sit on my stool in the old shop and ponder the best way (after getting better blocks under the rig). I got the old member out by pounding on one end one way and pounding on the other end the opposite way. So maybe?????
