The frame is almost done so it's time to slam in the 455. I decided to wait on the front suspension. I'll put that on after I hang the headers this way I know how much room I have.





The TKO tranny is from Modern Driveline they sent to whole kit. I've never used the Quick time bell housing. Man that thing is nice I really like it.



I had my body guy Allen start to smooth the firewall The plan is to put a Vintage Air unit in it





I'll post some more as I get them.

I took a piece of roll cage tubing cut it. Made a washer (1/4" thick) from some bar stock.
Weld it in





Then I took some 1" .065 wall fish eye and weld it.

Well the rear suspension is done. Check it out, time to move on to the front. The shocks are from AFCO.

Sweet build. Nice to see another early A-body convertible being built.
