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
