Thanks for all the great comments, its always makes me want to build more...
Tom - This tip is from Norm V. and I think Lyle uses this also to mount a flathead in the deuce.. Lyle can chime in if I'm right or wrong? When you look at the engine mounts on the frame you want to mark a line on the frame 1/4 inch forward from where it is now.. You can also mark the frame with a mock-up motor at where the motor mounts would be on the frame.. Cut the mounts of the frame and turn them upside-down so the smooth side is up and glue to the frame.. Smooth side of piece should be even with the top of the frame..
Norm did this in a how-to at a meeting last year...
Or you can take the easy route and just order a cleaned up frame from R&MoM.
mrmetallic- Fronts are T-120's Rears are T-180's
Hope this helps. - Later -

"Why didn't I think of that?" What a great idea for the flathead mounts! Beautiful roadster, Mike. That is right-on.

That looks like it jumped off the pages of a late 50's Hot Rod magazine. Fantastic !
