Tom.... so you removed the the '35 "ears" and installed the '37 - '40 cross piece. It looks like the '35 mount drops right on allowing you to bolt the trans in using the later rubber doughnuts and bolts? Did you drill and bolt the newer mount to the chassis? Weld it in? Rivet it?


Peter.... your car has been a real inspiration, plus I really appreciate how well the build up was photographed! How did you mount your parking brake? Off the '35 mount like Tom's above, or up under the dash like the later cars? Thanks.
