Tom Schlauch is our resident expert on these, but I think you nailed it in your comments.
Most use a big Pontiac or Olds rear axle and hang it with either ladder bars or a four link. Add a transmission tunnel from a donor car to clear the engine mounted trans and traditional drive shaft. We have/had two of these prior to dad's passing. His Lemans convertible went to my sister. He gave the coupe to a family friend. Ed since has finished the rear axle install and is driving it, complete with patina. He's getting really good crowd response as I am seeing it in various commentaries and magazines. K

Gary Beemer was a friend of my dads, and now also me (he races with the NMCA in my class).
The first place he went when he completed his car was over to our house, so dad could see it. K
