Dash.
Mike Mancini (Instrument specialties) restored my gauge cluster. Another homerun to deal with in the resto world.

Heater and insulation.
Guys, that heater box just needed a minor cleanup and resto which I was able to do in house. The original finish is still there and no cracked parts. Jules Daddio did my heater and windshield motors. The rest was carefully cleaned or light media was used on the parts. New, but correct rivets were used as well as necessary HW replated. The gasket set from Detroit Muscle Technologies was very helpful. I hope Tim can post a pic of the driver side airbox before it goes in. That also needed a minor reconditioning and came out great!

it was not cheap but supposedly he is one of the best out there and since my motor was done already I wanted the trans to be as nice. the whole trans job cost around $2400 and yes I think it was a little expensive.
WOW... I personaly think you could have had 3 of maybe even 4 at that price...... What did he replace every single piece in it.....

I was not thrilled when i got the bill and there was no lube included  . LESSON LEARNED on my end. It was not even for a full rebuild either. I respect Frank and am not badmouthing him but i did not expect that job to be that much. i was figuring 800-1000.
Wow!,....so Frank "gave" it to you dry

Ask for qoutes and expect 10-15% more.
2,400 is just nuts.

Again:- - - - Just helping out... 1)The Upper Control Arm bolts appear to be in wrong (pictures blurry, kinda hard to tell) The nut/lock washer should go on the engine compartment side and the bolt head should be on the suspension side. 2)Master cylinder should be painted black with the power booster. 3)On a big block the fuel pump also recieved orange overspray, if not completly painted orange. You got ripped on the transmission rebuild bill for sure, but at least Tim's giving you cheap body and paint work and assembly work
