Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

I'm starting to repair all the rot on my 1941 61 series and need some assistance.  I've got the rockers figured out and my front fenders.  An area that has me stumped is the lower part of the A pillar and lower part of the firewall/cowl where the body mounts are located.  Basically this whole lower 6" is rotted away to the point where I can't tell what it used to look like.  See attached pic.  I can fabricate and recreate all this area from scratch without a visual guide but a pic would go a long way in helping me to understand how this area was supposed to look and function.  Whole lot going on this small area with the 2 body mounts and lower fender mount so I'm curious how Cadillac made it work.  Any pics of this area with the front fenders off or from underneath would help me ton.  Thanks in advance  828-231-0751

Jim this is really helpful!  Can you take a pic of the right side of page 44 that is cutoff?  That would show the rest of that section.

Try these, pages 30 and 31 are for a "B" type body, pages 44-45 are for a "C" type body.
