Thanks all for the good advice. I'm sure it will save me a lot of
unnecessary grief. /Butch/ Ferndale, WA

I took mine out thru the bottom on my 63 Fury Butch. I think I  removed the
starter first too. Be prepared it's heavy. Now as far as putting it back in
here's a trick I came up with because I found it impossible to try and hold
it up in place with one hand while laying on the floor and getting the first
bolt started with the other hand. I tied a rope around the box and had my
son pull it up thru the engine bay. That took all the weight off of it so I
could wrestle it back in place and get the bolts started. Btw I got my box
from Steer & Gear too. Nice people.
