    Yeah, I'm wondering what the changes will do overall too. It was a fun little car to drive (and fooled a lot of people too ).

    I'm figuring the mileage at 75 will probably drop to around 20 without the OD, but I really don't see too many long highway trips in it's immediate future, mostly 65 MPH secondary roads and around town driving.

    I stopped by the local wrecking yard this morning to check and see what they had for C4s and to pickup an automatic brake pedal. I was really hoping to find something with a C4 I could throw some seals in and put it under the car. It sure wasn't like it was even 10 years ago......it looks like there will be a C4 rebuilding session in my future.....I also found out I don't fit under the dash of a Mustang II like I did 10 years ago

    On the bright side I think I mentioned in my 37 Dodge build thread that when I bought the Dodge the PO had put a Mustang II rear end under it (the first thing I replaced when I got it home). When I pulled it apart yesterday to get the third member I found it had been completly gone thru.....new brakes and hardware, drums turned, new axel bearings, and new carrier and pinion bearings.

    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
