Today I can finally say that I am 98% done, some minor adjustments and a kick down cable. I hope Santa doesn't monkey around with it while I'm asleep. Merry Christmas. HRD.

Very nice, what's the speed rating on those caster wheels?

Lokar universal kick down cable worked well for me. I'd check the mileage to be sure he hasn't taken it out for a spin, I'd be tempted.

I had them on the front, but you need a step ladder to get over fenders, it's high enough in the front sitting on the tires....not that I'm complaining!

Nice work Donnie and Merry Christmas to you also.

I would love to, only thing is....I need snow tires! It's winter now and it'll be at least 4 to 5 months till I can drive it! I'm taking it to an indoor car show end of March.

That right, sorry I forget about you snow bunnies  :003: I felt like a fool today testing a new heater core when it was 75F.

Nice job on your engine Jim, saw a couple of posts with pictures before it was installed.
