5th Intermission JWest RennShifter - Thanks Duc (Number6) TC, now I really feel bad for not having cleaned the shifter! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Speaking of the Rennshift, did you receive it in good shape? FedEx says it was left at your door today. I really admire the work you've done on this car and will anxiously follow your progress. She's going to be one hell of a car! -duc |

Update pictures from today. Not a lot of work in the last 2 weeks, as there was Christmas and alot of improvements in the shop, ie new lifts.

Next week the new floor pans will go in and the suspension will be pulled. Then the the passenger rear fender will go back on and then the car will get blasted.

There is a gearing differnce and the intermediate plate is different. The intermediate plate has the bell-crank for the throttle linkage.
That pic of the 2 trannies - one is a six, one is a regular 4, but I did get 2 914-6 trannies out of the 8 I got with the car. T.C. |
