Hey Todd...a panoramic golf cart mirror is a big help with visibility. I picked mine up on ebay for a few bucks...it clamps on the cage. -Al

Wire wheeled the engine to clean it up a bit, gave it and the trans. a little spray bomb rebuild today. Stuck the clutch, bell and trans. together, then we set them in. Dang it's getting hot out! Left about 3 and now I'm gonna watch some NHRA from RT 66 form this weekend.

Add on switch panel that works in conjunction with the interior panel. Just so you can fire it from under the hood.

Is there a clutch safety switch and/or a neutral safety switch?

Watched a co-worker start a manual-trans Ford from under the hood years ago. He failed to take it out of gear first, and when it started and leaped forward, it knocked him to the ground, facing the car, with his head at bumper height, with his head up against a concrete wall. Fortunately, each end of the front bumper caught a rollaway tool box on each end and stopped the car about an inch from his nose. Scared the crap out of all of us.
