Thanks for all the kind words.

I put the engine and trans back in yesterday and found the trans bracket I bought to fit the powerglide doesnt work. :mad:

Here is a picture of the car starting to be lowered over the engine.

I will probably just retrofit the stock bracket.

What breaks are on the front of your car?

 

Stock, in fact there the original equipment pads front and rear lol.

I would love to have the strange brakes but I dont even have money left for a set of Kirkley seats

I looked into the Stange breaks which I really would like to get but, I think I'm going to save my money and buy a set of CCWs

Got one side of the coil relocation finished, after the other side is mounted I will measure and order the custom wires.

Finished installing my Wolfe anti roll bar and welded the seams where the parachute hooks up, around the roll cage mounting points and the mounting tabs for the anti roll bar.

RAY! its been almost two months since an update? i need my fix!!!!! how is the car coming along?

 

My transmission is a powerglide with a ringless billet input shaft so it doesn't pump through the cooler ports. So for the trnsmission cooling I tapped the pan with an inlet and outlet for a cooler loop and a temperature probe for a thermostat. I bought a small gear pump,cooler and fan and mounted it in the back of the car with the fuel pump. The system is always hot and will cool the trans in the pits between runs. Its adjustable between 90* and 210*
