today i was gonna send thor down to the clutch shop but we got so busy it didnt happen i'll drop it off monday i should get it back tuesday morning, i'm using a 10" scalloped clutch. and this shift boot http://www.spectreperformance.com/#CATALOG.6285

later on i'll get it engraved with Marilyn's name on it.

i have a bunch of highly polished stainless plate steel so i'm gonna build a small box to house the shifter on the drivers side of the tunnel.
that way i will build it over my nice carpet and keet it intact and add more shiney stuff to the car.

randy and THOR got the trans body assembled today

tuesday i will have the aftermarket parts i need to complete this project.

can i make the race? we will see

she is in good company, there will be a 65 yellow GT next to her tomorrow!

today i pulled my new UCA's and removed the old ball joints, i have been sick and slammed @ work so the project has been on hold most of this week. i still need to get my rotors turned and dig thru the upstairs for a non-pushbutton 63 / 64 GT cover plate ... for the dash.

next is cutting the floor and building up the new "HUMP" for the trans.
