Looks pretty good to me. What are your plans for it?
 
Can you tell me more about the trans? Looks like a cool unit. Whats all done with the mill? Looks like a nice set up!:burnout:
 
Is it really a stock stroke 383 or is that what you're wantin everybody to believe? Nice lookin project.
 
The 727 mirrors John Copes ProRace tranny using his CRT-22X Reverse manual valve body 155+psi with low band apply, L/R Billet Servo Kit and 4.2 billet 2nd gear lever.

Also used Alto Red Eagle racing clutches, Kolene steels, Thicker band strut, Red lined bands, Teflon rings, Rear billet servo, 5 pinon steel spline planetary, 4 rear planet and a aluminum deep pan & billet filter extension.

The Stall is custom built, steel stator convertor with a billet cover.
 
Finally ! Sounds like a great combo,should haul the mail!
 
Looks solid! Oh man can I ever sympathise about moving stuff around,lol. Cramped 12 x24 concrete coffin of cold...brrr
 
I like how you sleeved the front of the connector.This realy stiffens the connection up!
 
This has been a long ongoing project so don't think I did this all overnight lol.

Anyways frame connectors were in and everying else has been striped out except the side glass so a car dolly was built and off it goes to my buddys place for body work.

Since you guys had so much fun with this, here is one of the pics again:violent1:

And at this point we started finding out how not so solid this car was, PO must have bought 5 gallons buckets of bondo on sale:-k, also it was nice of him to put metal filings/iron ? in the bondo so a magnet stuck well......

So I said screw it stopped the project and sent the car to the crusher the end......

All in all it looks pretty solid. Look forward to seeing the finished car and maybe at the track next year.
