On a hoist use a trans. jack for support if you have one. Worth while investment if you don't have one. Just took a oil pan off a 10 Mitchell that I thought was Alum. but discovered when it came down on my chest it was cast iron! Put it back on with the floor jack and cradle. Easy peasy

I can only imagine how miserable it must have been to be an independent shop mechanic back during that era.

And, an Auburn is a pretty straight forward car - try a RR PI or a 1931 Cadillac when you need transmission work and it would have been more like the backyard mechanic meets Lockheed SR-71 Blackhawk, Concorde, or Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
