Looking good there boys.
I see the trans was converted to side shift is there any pics of the shift rod installed? Just wondering is you guys went with an aftermarket or home made solution ? |

Hey Luke. I went with the Patrick Motorsports set up. I figured that in the interest of not cutting a corner, I would just buy that one. I just sandblasted it today and painted it with satin black paint. It is shipped with a gold zinc coating. Jim

This is what happens when you let the owner of the car help with the restoration. Let that be a lesson to you, Andy and Kent. I told you to keep me away from my car. You idiots! Agreed, just stay out of the way and let the pros work. Also think about letting someone drive it for you when it's finished. Maybe a good friend or neighbor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Although the windshield is in, it's not yet in the car. I waited about two months to get it. I'll let you know if it was worth the price and the wait. I also attached a picture of the NOS air leaner box. I gave the old one to Kent for helping me out. Now that I know how to post pictures, you guys are in trouble. Jim

Jim,
Did you source new rockers or refurbish? The work is fantastic. |
