Jason from Gunslinger stopped by over the weekend and dropped off this neat addition.

The pistol grip looks so much better in there.

I also have to say , I learned a valuable lesson this week with aftermkt shifters.( it's a comp plus under the boot and with a stock handle)

Seems there is a plate that sandwiches between the shifter body and the mounting plate on the trans and it WILL prevent you from getting reverse, trust me.

Another issue I was worried about was the accelerator pedal to heal pad position on the carpet, another long known issue with ACC carpets . But I believe it's about as close to factory stock one can get.

Overall I have to say the carpet was a real pleasure to install. With lots of extra material, fit was real nice where it needs to be and it laid down very well.

Job well done Bill ....Snap some pictures of it outside before it goes....

I was certain Paul made the right choice when he chose to take the car to you...Due to space limitations, I would have not been able to start it until now...

Oh , I will . Grille goes in today. Then the exterior will be done.

We ran into a leaking brake valve when bleeding the brakes. The new one goes in today and if the weather holds out maybe I'll take the 1st 'test' drive.

Yes, put all of about 3 miles on it, and never opened all 3 carbs up one time, I swear.
It goes in the trailer tonight and will be back in the owners hands before dinner time tomorrow afternoon.
I brought it home to clean it up. Then picked my daughter up at school and took it back to the shop.
And it absolutly made her day
