Looking good Rich!! How's the engine coming along for it?

Probably have the engine ready by next weekend Tony. The real hold up is the transmission...still nothing to go with yet.

PM sent about transmission

After a brief foray investigating a 4R70W transmission using a lock-up convertor it was determined the car would never have enough hp to take advantage of it. Back on track now for a C4 with a lower gearset. Still have not located a suitable core.

Rich, what kind of paint did you use on the interior? Sorry, you may have mentioned this in a previous post, however I can't find it.

Thanks,

It was two different types of SEM...one for vinyl and another for plastic. Both came from LateModelRestoration. http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...aint-Spray-Dye

I'll be able to button this up as soon as I finish manicuring the scraper. The lack of a C4 still plagues the project.

Looks good!! As I told you on the other forum, just grab one of the large bell trans, as long as it's case fill. I'll give you a small bell for it, just pay shipping. Or get this '70 model trans I have and let your builder change out the front drum to a 24 spline unit from a '71 and newer. That's the only difference. You're getting close, I'm interested in seeing how it runs.

Thanks Tony - I found a fellow in KY who says he has one. If he gets back to me I'm going to let him ship it directly to Arnett.
