Thanks Wayne.

Test drive was a success. No drivetrain vibrations and shifts smooth. Now on to buttoning up the transmission tunnel and a few other updates. Swapping the 3.25 gears for 3.89's now that the close ratio Magnum is in.

Very Nice Build!! Very Nice!!! I like to see home built cars, it lets me at least think I have a chance on working on my own car, instead of pain someone. Your skills and thought processes are impressive. I like the way you approached everything while working on your ride. I was at a standstill on how to approach certain things on my car, Qtr panels, outer wheel wells, Roof, and Truck. If I follow your process, I can finish the rear of the car. I was not sure how to tackle the cowls with sealant. You showed me when and how. I want to thank you for documenting every step of your build. You have helped me in more ways than you can think. Thank You!!!

Thanks for the compliments. This forum is a huge help to me so I'm glad I can provide a little insight in return. There's a lot of great guys on here with quality advise. Since I saw your comment I browsed through my build thread. There's a few things that have changed and a lot of blanks to fill in. Someday I intend to make it more complete. One thing that stood out to me is advise from guys on lat-g has been spot on. I've made changes along the way because of that and every one of them was for the better. Dave, Frankie, Brendon, Vince, Wayne,.. I'm sure I'm missing some, but those guys have helped a lot.
