i hear ya on the money eating thing !
that's why my forever project humpback and my charger is taking forever to get anything accomplished.
the hospital and docs need their "fair share"............[at least that's how it is in my case]

So the lawn ornament comes home this week....I will see if I can get some updated pics this weekend, but honestly, I need to get my butt in gear and get my Duster running ASAP for the start of the season and I can't do both....But I still want to mount the drive train in it. Anyone got a BB to 727 JW unit? I need one for the trans that is going in the lawn ornament.

Other that that, its as I said I was going to do....I had the cage cut out and put in a moly one, along with the firewall & floor and had some cross braces put in where needed and the frame gusseted. New dash is mounted, and next will be seats and pedals, then either fuel stuff and wiring, or the crazy headers I want to do...

This is the biggest project I have ever taken on, and I feel a little bewildered by it. I mean, there is nothing mounted to this chassis yet. Let alone, paint and body work and trim.....But it should be pretty cool when close to done. Will it fit the nostalgia rules, doubt it, maybe change some stuff in the future depending if its easy enough...Its purpose, is to be a nostalgic blown street & strip car....I can have fun with.

As far as pedals go, what do you guys like? Looking for a nice firewall throttle and brake pedal...

Very cold here this week. Not going to get a break in temp for a while. Tough to work on stuff at these temps...I also forgot to mention the trans tunnel around the bell is removable and the cowl that was cut out for the blower has been filled back in.as the engine has been moved forward cause I needed the foot well room.

So I still need pedals, JW for BBM, and I have a question, can a set of lightening rods work with a RMVB 727?

I looked into lightning rods a couple years ago. There is a place that sells there version that works with RMVB at a reasonable cost

The original Hurst ones are rare and expensive.

I have been looking at those....Weird how it needs a reset....

There was a customer car (mopar) here last spring that had that shifter with RMVB (street car) Seemed to work well although I only drove it around the block.

I have a car that had one of those shifters in it, TH400. Worked fine with RMVB. Not sure exactly what you mean by "reset it" but if you mean down shifting its pretty simple. Can go one at a time or use the large handle, closest to you. You do not have to use the smaller handles to shift either way if you dont want to. The reverse lockout is the only thing thats "clunky"

I tried to buy his before I bought mine....Love Squirrels car...He is currently doing some upgrades to it..

fair price on it I think

Well, I could sell mine and go the finished car route if anyone is interested....Would have rather had his in the first place.

Well I listed it just in case there is a chance to own Jim's...Won't be for sale for long though...

Priced right i know how much work it takes to get to that point
