Well I dont plan on racing it, but there will definatly be times where I show off what it can do. I just wont do anything stupid in it where I can risk bad damage. Or any damage for that matter, I consider all my vehicles to be like family to me. I dont get rid of them, and if they get wrecked, I still want to keep them. My Mom and I were just in a bad wreck in Austin, a lady ran a red light and t-boned us on my side. She had to atleast be going 55, and never once did she hit her brakes. I am still coming over a bad concussion.

But my Moms car was totalled, and since I wasnt allowed to keep it because it is my Moms car, and she needs the settlement for another one, I just took stuff off the car so that I could always have a piece of it. I know it sounds weird, but that is just how I am.

About the tranny though, I can easily get one out of a 69 Chevy truck, because my Dad, brother and I all own one of our own. My bros never had a standard trans in it, as well as mine, but my Dads has one and it is 3 on the tree. And lucky for me he is saving that project for after his 59' El Camino is finished. So I can trade my Dad my trans for his, and then I will have a 3 speed trans. Which yes I love very much. I dont know why.

As for the tires, I am keeping the original size tires on it, and I will have a set for driving, and a set for show. If I ever get into showing it off and comparing it to other cars. But the show set will be wide white walls, while the driving set will be a performance set of black walled tires. I was making sure that the truck tranny would bolt up in my car with little mods.

Another thing, in yawls opinion, should I put power brakes on it, or just stick with the regular disc upgrade? Again please keep in mind I am new at this.
