Dan replaced the driver side motor mount which required the removal of the starter to make it easier to do. The old mount was crushed allowing the engine to lean down so much that the exhaust manifold almost hit the crossmember. We discovered the Custom S has its original 1107355 starter dated 8-L-1 (Nov. 1, 1968) as well as its original torque convertor with the '55' paint stencil. He also replaced the original heater core that had been solder repaired and had a slow leak in the core at a previous fix. Rear window, bumper and tail lights back on...a new tinted windshield had to replace the original non-tint that had a stone chip that spread all the way across when it was removed...bummer. Interesting to know that the 4-dr windshield is 1" taller than the 2-dr windshield. Making progress...
