WELL!    We'll just see who's in second place when I  kick it into overdrive as we're rat racing down the Transcanada this fall (or did that already happen on another thread?)

(Maybe I'll put the car in my wifes name)

My big block four speed GP conversion has been on hold for a number of reasons. Time is one. A missing part, one last missing part has been the other reason.

Thanks to my buddy in Nebraska, that part arrived today. Anyone care to guess which piece it could have been that gave me the most trouble? I know a few of you here will guess right away because you've lived it!

All I can say is, cool............................... So cool that I had to put sunglasses on the box!

shifter and boot would not hold up the build  no 

maybe the Z-bar or B-body clutch fork?

maybe a box full of money?

 I knew you'd nail it Carl. You have an unfair advantage having lived the life of torment looking for one of those.

It's missing the spring clip but I found a guy who has 3 of them and he's only about 40 miles away so I'll likely go buy all 3.

 I closed my eyes and bought one of those repro boots.... Ouch!

I want to run a Strato bench and a stick.

My Strato made the trip from Saskatoon to east of Winnipeg last weekend and I just have to get out there to pick it up.
