I want to thank Norm an Vic for the in put on the transmission. We do have a very unique community alwas willing to help every one. I for one am very proud of that. I did get it sorted out and the transmission installed along with the motor. The car was taken over the Kent Wa. for paint a few weeks ago. May be by this summer it mite be on the road.

Trying to push it over the paint line. It's ready been a long road. Still was a lot to do to get it on the road. But the road is at least down hill.
