67 GTS 4-Speed: Daily Summer Driver
So a good amount has happened in the past couple weeks. I got a new front bumper from AMD. I got the front and rear seats recovered!!
They turned out awesome!! The rear bumper is currently out getting chromed. Now is just an issue of getting enough time to install these parts.
This past weekend I was able to make it back to the parents place to get some work done to the cars. I installed the hood to radiator seal, the front hood trim and got the floor plugs installed. I got distracted and decided to work on installing the drive shaft that I just ordered for it... that did not go so well... I was informed that the big block A bodies with the four speed would have the 30 spline output shaft. So thats what I told them to make. Well the slip yoke wont go into the transmission. For what ever reason the transmission has the 26 spline output shaft. I was under the impression it was the original transmission, but I guess it could have been changed at anytime. So now I have to either go with a conversion U joint or find someone who has the 26 spline slip yoke that goes to 7290 large U joint, or someone to make me that slip yoke. So we will see what happens there.
