Hi Don....I knew Id get a response from you! I actually never left, (been lurking) but since I hadnt worked on my T in so long, I really didnt have much to contribute.......Unless you want to hear stories about the wild women and hot nights!!!! I was actually afraid I was losin interest in my hot rod, but today, after dragging it outside and cleaning out the shop, I got rejuvinated!! I didnt get to put the eng/trans back together, but I think Ill play it safe and go with the 2200 stall converter. I still have to put the trans and eng together to help with the mock up for building purposes....but will change out to the higher stall verter later. I did go to the NSRA street rod nationals in Loisville and had a ball!.....I brought a new GF with me and she loved it too and is bugging me to get the T on the road before next years Nats....The finished cars were really cool, but I spent the most time (and most fun) in the back lot on the grass where the unfinished and flea market was.....But thats off the topic and whole nother story~~!!!!
