Sure beats my 73 year old body having to grovel around underneath with a 'creeper'. The hardest part is not having the thing fly off while I'm trying to lay down on it.
Also attached is a photo of my new 'toy' a 1946 TC to go with my 1954 TF 1250.

Yep I'm spoiled. My body won't handle the concrete floor anymore.

There's just something so delicious about a TC with its hood and side curtains up.

Hi Don,

I virtually can guarantee you will enjoy the 'driveability' of the TF even more !! (lol).

I'm not enjoying it much right now. I had originally planed on just pulling out the engine. Only thing left to do was remove the upper bell housing bolts No big deal... just did it on Buill's TF....pull back the carpet and remove the transmission tunnel for access right? How soon I forget.... I have an Arnolt heater that will have to be removed, an sub panel thats wired up for accessory plugs and my 4 way flasher.... and oh ya... Bill didn't have a foot rest...I do and I have my two speed wiper motor fixed to the top of it. Ughhhh

Plan two under consideration as I write this...pull the engine with the gear box.

Problem.. the rear of the Datsun gear box will have to be raised 1 5/8" above the cross member before it can be moved forward. I have doubts that the toe board will allow that. Looks like I will have to remove the engine mount completely as well as the steady mount to even have a shot and even then it may not have sufficent clearance. Plus my hip is screwed up. If I still drank I'd have a shot.

Do you still have the instructions for the wiper modification available?

Thanks

Here is a link to John B's install. He followed my general directions. If you get the steel tubes with the motor that is better but you can fabricate some out of copper as I suggested to John.
