[REBELx504]

speaking of drivetrain...
look what I got in...

NEW TRANSMISSION HOUSING!!!!

holy crap you aren't wasting any time

great job!

I bought it @ copart...and I still got it at a great price...I just wish the drivetrain and not been damaged, but hence the price.

In it for the long haul...

I bought stuff from local copart auction that had green sticker which means runs and drives and its always a crap shoot. I totally understand the risk you take.... I have an outmost respect for the type of guy that you are. Keep it going. Cheers!!!

Wow, hats off to you. I've done frame off restorations on 50s-70s vehicles and in no way do a new vehicle, let alone in my driveway haha. Good luck to you and keep it up, I'm sure the pride of building this monster of a project yourself is whats driving it.
