    Frame Number

    I have a closed car and would like to check to see what the frame number is but I don't want to take the body off of the frame to do so. I know I am going to have to take the body loose from the frame but I don't want to be too invasive. I need to take the fenders and splash aprons off to paint...

    Mitchell / Float-A-Motor

    Would there be a problem using a Mitchell Overdrive with a Float-A-Motir set up? The thing I am concerned about would be the overdrive shifter would have to mount on top of ****** and the float-a-motor has a brace that mounts ahead of the cross member. Would they get in each other's way?

    I don't mind a little side to side wobble but I don't like the up and down. How much is acceptable? I am going to have an overdrive so I want as little as possible but how much is too much? Has anyone tried to straighten?

    Just got a set of brake shoes and they have the non woven linings on them and are glued with no rivets? Are these ok? An old timer told me that the woven are the best. I am using these with cast iron drums.
