I have 1 door jamb, and the under side of the trunk lid done, and ready to paint the trunk jamb (if you will) and getting the under hood and other door jamb ready and hopefully do those by Tuesday with the last of our 70 degree day almost done, otherwise I would need different activator for below 70 or heat my garage. A couple weeks after the engine purchase I found my 4 speed on Craigslist in Clarkston, WA about 100 miles south for $600 and in his pictures was a cardboard goodie box as I call it with Hurst shifter, shift mechanism and linkage which is hanging Red in the pics, Tranny dated late 69 so was in a 70 A Body car, the goodie box was worth $600 it self but came with Tranny price, BONUS. cause all the ones I looked at for 2 years were that price range with no goodies, also got sub-frame connectors about ready to weld in, so enjoy the pics and I will update again sooner than l did this time, Tracey
