Steve,
You might check the transmission mount.  Matilda use to shead the  bolts
that go to the frame occasionally.  Also when you put the tunnel back on
you can get nut holders that staple to the plywood underneath,  that way
when you remove the tunnel again it becomes a one person job.  Bob
Nogueria brought this to my attention so that Barbara would not have to
be underneath with the 1/4" wrench.
Scarlet (my dear) sounded really good to Barbara.  That was not new age,
as a name, it was a Celtic social commentary, from a Baptist.  I will
mention to Bill that you vote for Brave Virginia, the Ol' Dominion State,
Who With....
