Thanks to Hemi Challenger for letting me use a shift rod since I had the wrong one. We got it running, no leaks, took it for a ride in the rain after break in, and I'm very happy right now. We need to adjust the valve for the front brakes some more , tune up the carb, get it aligned, and put on the bumper, grill, and valance.
If I can figure out how to do a video clip, I'll get one posted. It does sound good.
