Very cool, Matty. I'm envious of your craftmanship -- and you seem to be having a good time!

Its looking good!! You asked about my Dad rebuilding TorqueFlites--He doesn't have his own kit, he usually uses kits from SMR Transmissions, or Mopar Performance-he goes through the tranny thoroughlly and knows what kind of things to look for as far as wear goes, and he knows all the little tricks and secrets about performance and durability. After the kits installed and everythings buttoned up he usually gives them a coat of aluminum paint. He's rebuilt TF's for guys like you and me to all out racers. It usually takes him about 10 hours to get a tranny done.

Looks like you got a good shop there to work on your project--are you a body guy by trade?

This might sound like a dumb question but...does your car have a fuse block in it where all the interior wiring harness plugs into? My car came with boxes inside full of bits and pieces-the dash had been half assembled and I have no idea whether or not there is supposed to be a fuse panel. I assume that there should be because the wiring diagrams in the shop manual show that the circuits are fused or have "breaker switches". Anyway, thanks! hope to see some more pics soon!
