Thanks guys! Appreciate you tuning in...I have to agree with you all!

Moving right along and really charged up about the progress since the last update. Some key issues and items off the list:

1. Drive angle set and confirmed at 3.5 degrees - no thanks to the BPR's trans-cross member. Went with the good old factory built 50 years ago.
2. Brake lines and proportioning valve installed.
3. Partial floor and complete transmission tunnel done.
4. Seats and brackets modified and sit perfectly.

All metal work done by a local guy who was a big reason why Steve's '69 looks so good. His attention to detail is tremendous!

Next steps…Wire the whole car, gauges, rad and headers.

Thanks Wayne! Ya, our guy Sam is crazy precise. A shot under the tunnel with a bit more massaging to go, and a late sunny afternoon pic I couldn't resist

nice pics and looking like some good progress, Joe!
so awesome that you got the angle dialed with use of the original trans cross-member.
glad to see it continuing to come together and looking forward to further updates.
cheers,
danny

Default Moving along…

Guys, thanks for checking in and your kind words. Well the motor and trans are in for good now. The tunnel is set and because I didn't want to run a console, more work. My buddy Steve took the time to create a solid piece to which the decorative shifter trim would simply screw down to. Due to shifter size and location on the tunnel…well you either have been through it or simply take a look. The trim piece had to be extended longer in size so that if I have to pull out the complete short throw for whatever reason the tranny stays put. Also took the advice of my metal/body guy Sam, and scratched the 50 year old metal (that looked so good) and coated it with quality bed liner. Dyno mat will still be used for sound etc…
