well, it don't look like much but this is the last day these parts spend apart...tranny has been washed as are all the other under chassis parts, engine is ready to install and the sheet metal and wiring are done...it's nice to have jack gibbs in my pocket when I have questions...he's always happy to help resolve any issues I may find...those grade 8 bolts are for the engine cradle...that hurst comp plus shifter shifts like buttah...
Looks Great!!!!
Are those deep grove pulleys?
With a stick car I would want some.

to be honest I've not paid them much attention...they were on the car from the git go, I just blasted and painted them...I'll check tomorrow...they worked well but then again, big difference in power now...my buddy is an awesome guy, everyone needs a friend like him...most of mine have either died or move away...
Now comes the fun part 
.
I bet you are getting excited!!!

Looks really good nice work
it's been a few years since I tore down and re assembled a car...I forgot how much more work it is to hook all the gear up once the motor is installed...today I strip all the accessories, repaint them, and when dry install 'em...the power steering pump and tank is off of a 69 camaro and is critically close to the 605 gear box...gonna take a bit of imagination to refit it...
I commissioned an oil painting of dutch 4 months ago...I got it today...he's a picture of my old man...he's always within feet of me...today he spent the day watching me cuss at the elky, the little stuff is always the most difficult...waiting for my back to become a bit more tollerable...
thanks phil, she did a fine job on the look and the details...I'm seriously considering getting a female which will be born in 2 months for dutch as a mate and a friend to play with...I need to have another dog like dutch to bring me into the "golden" years...
The car and the pic of your pup are looking good
So why aren't you in the picture too???
