Look at you Mr. Fancy Pants, with your complete installation including a flywheel cover! :lol::lol: Good on you! Too many cars/trucks running around without them. You are sooo close!! Hope your drive shaft gets to you quickly. :metal:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

And do you have possession yet????

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

No...I just walked back from next door and they are having to modify my accelerator cable where it mounts to the carb so it will have full throttle. When they installed the tv made easy system it uses a differant bracket for the cable. Its no big deal but another little thing to be fabbed. Still got 2 hours till they and us close so I'm sure it will go home with me..........I hope :sumo:

Thanks man, I wish you guys could see me. I have a grin from ear to ear :D the tranny guys just told me that at 70mph I'm only turning 1800 rpms and at 75mph I'm turning 2000. Plus another big deal is I will finally have a speedo that works. The drive gear in the old manual trans was shot.

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Well its done. I'll let you know what I think here shortly but in the meantime it looks so naked without the clutch pedal :lol: I'll have to patch in the hole for the shifter but for now I'm going cruising

Attention... Attention... Shawn will be unavailable for an unspecified time due to a life changing truck transition. This time is a very fragile time that may be spent endlessly cruising at highway speeds or doing smokey burnouts on vacant back roads. He will return when he has adjusted sufficiently... or his gas tank is empty... or his rear tires are without tread. That is all!

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
 

Atta' boy Shawno!!!! :clap::clap::clap:
I bet you feel like this. :four:

Re: Shawno72's long overdue 68 daily driver build thread
