Talking working on it again

l went out and pulled the mock up motor & trans today.

mocked up a bunch of the wiring l just hadn't got to before.

will have to remove some of the wiring clamps that is holding the wiring to the firewall and frame to put the firewall cover on when l get a sheet of aluminum to cover all the holes in the firewall. that's easier than trying to weld up the mess that's there now.

l plan on putting some time on this thing to get it close to running while we still have good weather left this year.

l got mass amounts of cleaning and painting on the frame and suspension left to do while its apart

Unhappy progress

progress has been slow, still sorting out the wiring and brakes.

over the spring l mocked up everything and then this summer tore it down to start final assembly.

getting anxious to finish her, it always takes so much longer to put it together than tear it apart

Lightbulb a while

been a while since l did anything to the sedan, so l decided to start on it
and hope she's runnng for summer.

the guy l paid to do my 7OOR4 bailed on me and l can't find the guy

the tranny l have is a turbo 350 longshaft out of a 1969 impala wagon. it was rebuilt with B&M parts and a stage 2 shift kit in 1982 and with fluid changes every 75 thousand miles it still performs great

the cross member is set up for the OD trans so l am building a mount extension so everthing fits.

l have 33 X 18.5 X 15 M/T's and 3:25 gears. at 60MPH the motor should tach at 22OO.
