Yes can be a pain in the *** for sure. Glad you won the battle.
Did you get your engine and trans in today , Fred ?
No not yet I need more chain and weather has been bad so will get more chain tomorrow.
Thats a lonnnnnng transmission. Will it all go in bolted together ?
Glad ya got rear glass in, looks good.
Keep the original rear seal, worth $$.

The old fills the hole better than the new Steele Rubber seal . But it's in and it's stayin in .
Not sure Al but gonna try, car is raised about 18" so should clear but Iv'e been wrong before. lol
Say Al, can u believe how sweet this looks ? & the Hood closes ! OMG , I'm in Luv !
Looks BAD *** Chris. Did you get it all fired up and broke in yet?]
No, not yet ! Working on brake lines. Pain in my ***. Haha
Its Alive. No it's not. it's on life support . But I'm going through the electrical system.

I put my motor/transmission in together then had to install the gearvendor unit under the car. It was too long and unbalanced to go in together.

I was running brake lines till I ran out of parts. I have another caliper coming and hopefully that will wrap that up. So I started picking away at the electrical stuff. I have power to all the fuses but no dash lights . Any clues on where to start looking for that issue ?????
Ya . I was thinking that looked awful long to be going in all together.
Thanks Desert Rat. It's gonna be a driver not a show queen , but it looks pretty good so far. What are you building?
OK was wondering if it would make it but will take your word for it and install them separate. Thanks DesertRat.

Yes Sir Chris that is sharp. I had a 6pac setup for a 340 back in the day, I coudn't get it dialed in , took it off. I wonder to this day what I ever did with it.
Oh , I had to work with the doors closed today. It was a blistery mid 60s day. BRRRRRR.
So Engine going in soon Al?
OK don't rub it in damn ya been freezing here
I want to get all the under hood stuff taken care of first. Won't be long though. I have a set of headers that came with the whole deal , But I haven't even checked to see if they'll fit. Same with the 4 spd trans. I have it but don't really know anything about it. looks ok inside ! And my engine is all fresh from like 5 years ago. I hope it's still good. I also got a Eddie carb with the deal. Might have to change the valve covers. I don't think they will work together
I was also messing with putting the package tray and speakers in today. DO NOT BUY these speakers. The plastic grills are so fuckin thin, as soon as I put any tension on the screws they would just snap into pieces. Chinese ****. Now I have to find some more grills.
I got some short tubed headers out of my car that I will not be using if they work on your car if you can use them will send them to you. Also a 73 Electronic Dist. if you need one.
