Looking very nice! I'm always amazed/impressed when someone can take on this sort of fabrication on their own. I need to take some welding classes...

The plan / idea
Is to make inside nice , look close to stock as possible
Under hood, repaint/ detail
touch up body where really needed,leave rest
Drive to track, race drive home
The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

I'd look at a Metric 200 OD trans....

A 518 bolts right up and gives you a 727 with OD.. change out the pump to a standard 727 pump and you can run a high stall conv but you do lose lock up and its cheap to do... you might need to work the trans tunnel.. big deal where your at now
