The transmission cost was a big surprise, but I am sure everything was justified. I admit getting a little worked up from the responses that I got towards the price and that led me to think otherwise. Ladies and Gentlemen, anyone that has done a legit resto knows that it runs $$$$ and you do it because you want to. Of course someone can do it cheaper and sometimes someone can do it better. Also if anyone has a problem with costs, direct it to Frank himself. You can get his number off roger gibsons website. I am sure he can go over each and everything that was done. Now back to the resto, and I forgot HAPPY NEW YEAR, LOL....

And as previously noted by several here, it is a drum brake master cylinder, so it is not only incorrect but also could be dangerous on a disc brake car if you let the fluid get low. Check the casting number on the bottom, I'm thinking it is 5 numbers starting with 29xxx. Which would make it Raybestos, my old work. And a correct Bendix disc brake MC will be painted black. 5721278-mastercylinder.jpg (206 downloads)

Plus we're storing it for the owner until it warms up now so we took a break to work on another car. A few odds and ends (parts) still aren't here yet. We're actually doing a little more of an "OEM Like" resto than originally planned so the parts hunting has gotten a little more involved. That Chally looks great! What was the tab on that job?

Heck the storm that just went through here was equal to mount everest temps!!! you southern guys are WEAK!!!!! I feel the pain you have!! Now I must go get an 8 foot drift blown away from dads shed so we can go work in it with out heat! Oh and it is -15 right now with no wind. Maybe I should go get the balloon out and go for a flight!!! instead!!! Quote: I'll post more photos today. Unfortunately, it's not quite done. We're still jumping through hoops getting a few misc parts. BUT MOSTLY, you snow guys up north have conspired against us and sent in weather that's 30-40 degrees below normal. We're real "he men" when it comes to working in the heat but we're like a bunch of little girls with this cold weather! We have heat pumps down here. They are air conditioners that work in reverse during the winter and they can't keep up when it's this cold. The other day, we walked into the shop and it was 16 degrees f inside. We ran back to Mike's house like the place was on fire. Please pray that we survive. More soon... Contact Me about AMD Prices

We can't flush the toilet because the water pipes are frozen. That's not good when coffee is the only thing keeping us alive! The town is paralyzed due to the 1/2 inch of snow we recieved last Thursday. There are no beer sales on Sunday so we would be in for a slow, painful death even if we could get to the store. Darn those uninsulated roll up doors!!! If we can just hang on one more day, it's supposed to get back above freezing! Wish us luck. Martin, GA Quality Auto Restoration with Fair FIXED Pricing.

But after the exhaust is on, the bottom will be pretty much done. We actually don't have very many hours in what we've done and the owner is having us keep the car until the weather breaks. So, we're not going to bust our knuckles until it gets above freezing again. (meow!) We bought that double sided aluminum heat (cold) wrap to put over our roll up doors. Once we get that up there, maybe the heat pump will have a chance. Martin, GA Quality Auto Restoration with Fair FIXED Pricing. Fast-N-Dangerous@comcast.net
