    Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. My buddy came over with his makeshift forge setup and some scrap steel. We doodled up some templates and went to town on my old anvil. Pretty cool to learn the process. This is were I'm at after some tacos, beer, and a late night of pingin away...

    Thanks E-440. I'm taking it one piece at a time. Trying very hard not to get overwhelmed! Im also in the process of building a bike, to get it ready for tax season. That profit should then pay for the trans and motor stuff for the car!

    Looks like someone got to my crossmember before me! pretty bent, cut up, and mangled. I cut off the "rewelded" auto trans mount, bent it back into shape and put in some supports. Will be blasted and painted soon.

    Here are some A-833 parts that I acquired along the way. Will be building this on the side while doing the body. Thanks again to the guys that helped! You all know how you are. Still on the hunt for shifter assembly/ linkage/ z bar/ clutch linkage/ etc. Anyone holding?

    While on my 4-spd search around the midwest, I was able to locate a hump (no I did not spend 375.00 on it either lol.) During breaks at work I cleaned it up, blasted it, and then epoxy sealed it. Ready to be installed in the floor. Fits like a glove!

    Threewood it was easier to do this and keep the lines. Otherwise you are dealing will more spot-welds and a chance to have things loose shape.

    A bit more trimming and it will be ready to be welded up! AMD panels are pretty spot on. (even tho they are made in Taiwan...)
