Lobo, from the picture of your engine being built, I see that it has not been modified to accept an Allen wrench during installation of adjustable lifters. Forget I mentioned this if you intend to use original lifters, but most builds these days go modern adjustable, for which the Allen wrench hole makes the job much easier.

Please note that in your two photos of your motor mount/water inlet casting that the one in the first photo is a '36 and that in the second photo is a '35.

Thank you for your response on the lifters I will bring this up with the mechanic that’s working on it. As an aside where is the radio antenna located on the 1935 for Phaeton?

Lobo, Generally speaking, it is best to open a new thread for questions of a totally different nature. That said, I'm not a '35 guy, but I believe there were two antennae locations for '35 open cars: Under the running board, and behind the spare tire. Closed cars would have had the additional antenna location of chicken wire within the top fabric. Hopefully, someone with more knowledge of '35's will chime in.
