Passon 5-speed

The Passon install, rear end gear change, pulling the original numbers matching A833 for safe keeping and having the McLeod Street twin sent to the factor to be made like new again project has officially begun!

After staring at at this beautiful piece of art work Jamie created, I just couldn't get my mind around the aluminum case color, so I primed it with self etching primer, let it dry good, primed it with a light coat of regular primer, and with finish it with several medium coats of Cast Blast, cast iron finish, so it will look like my original. I'll post a picture of how it came out so you guys can decide for yourself.

I think I am going to have to put in the 1 inch Firm Feel front torsion bars, weld the lower control arm reinforcing plate and ad the Hotchkis adjustable strut rods to the car while its up in the air. It made such a tremendous difference in my 68, I can only categorize it as transforming. I have the stock HD big block/hemi bars in there now.

I started at the back valence and am slowly moving forward towards the trans. I hope to get the clutch out to McLeod before the end of the week.
