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...

Been messing around cleaning parts and stuff but by time shop is warm, time to go to bed





Yeah, I bet you had to break the ice in the solvent tank just to clean parts. I'd imagine a lot of us didn't get as much as expected done last winter. Looking good!

Yeah, it's got a smallblock.

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

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

We use Superformance gaskets and Turbo Action converters/products.

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

None that I see... unless you want a stock conv
with lock up... that will kill your launch .. I'm
happy with mine for a street/strip rod

I'd give up launch to have the benefit of torque converter lock up......
