attempt for tranny support install

HI!
this is by far the most aggravating part of my project!
I dont think the tranny support I have here goes on top of the frame as I have it. I think it must hang below it, which would be good, that would allow more room for access to where the mc/power booster area. I wish transmissions didn't weigh so much! I ran out of steam last night, so this morning I'll start anew.
This time I'll remove the top boards (the 2 x 6''s) and see if that will put it at the right height, or close. Then I'll drop my plastic mock up engine in to hopefully tack weld the engine supports into place~ that will be a good goal for today! I haven't finished the firewall by any means, just wanted to accomplish this task.


Obviously again, I think I have the tranny too high as it won't go back any further as it hits the firewall, plus getting to the top bolts of the tranny looks impossible to get at.
I'll be back~ ; )


you can see this is where my Little Mule really helps~ there would be no way for me to do this without it!
