—- Aluminum main caps. But not #1 ?

——— Learning together? In my case there’s way more learning going on over here on my side of the screen. Haha. But a very nice well thought out job. I went back a few pages to refresh myself on the build. The bottle on the console is a good idea. I ended up building aluminum brackets and...

WOW. That’s all I’ll say right now until I can get to go through your pics in detail. “ I’ll be back ” Edit: ok. Have had a good look at your work and examined each picture. WOW. I like your workmanship and attention to detail. Your shifter fits the console perfectly. You’ve added on to...

Some other stuff that’s been getting messed with around here while waiting for racing season. Tailpipes came off the 68 and found a new home. Not in the way, not falling over. Got some more rumble and for good reason with the tailpipes off. The Dana got a different look the other day...

Your work over the off season is going to show up on your time slips this year LW. Remember the 10-teens prediction? Think you’re about there. Good job!

The 62 sure is an interesting build. When looking at each photo a fellow has to look closer because there’s so much more to everything. But the same goes for the 64. Lots of work went into that scoop from what a guy started with. Looks and fits perfect. Love the black weld wheel !

Oh bummer, that used to happen to me too but I run the cable around the right side of the trans now. A 5’ cable will work with a front exit shifter but 6’ cable is best.

You’ll like that new shifter.

—— Sometimes anality is better known as attention to detail, or OCD, at least in my case :) haha. Good luck to you as well on your upcoming assembly.

Wow is that impressive! Quality methodical workmanship that matches the entire car. I’d bet my pension cheque that the trans temp is also lower in this spot. In fact with it not against the rad your engine temp is likely lower too.

Looks fantastic and a very winning car. I presume those are Hedman Headers? And I notice your trans cooler nicely tucked under there. Any difference in trans temp there vs in front of the rad? Good luck this year!

My preparation for the season usually starts at the end of the previous season as I’m sure it does for most of us. I didn’t have any planned changes to start with but things came up.. The fuel cell mounts ended up being modified for easier servicing of the 100 micron fuel filter. While in the...

Glad to hear that the upgrades have all turned out good LW. Have a great season!

I built this valve spring compressor recently. Based it off of some pictures a Buddy sent me.

Stepped up to a PPP shifter with air shift. No regrets with this upgrade. Been spending a little time in the drivers seat over the winter.
