Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Very nice progress. What's the deal on the transmission interference? I thought the 4l80 would fit with a high hump? Did you drop your cab? Maybe I missed it in one of your posts?

Re: 68 aka "Chained in Porterbuilt Prison"

Well Jim, as posted on 67cheby build a few days ago, I finally got the chance to go over all your build today. Everything that all the guys have said about your build is echoed by me. Just a great build. I did a 67 for a friend a few yrs ago (before I knew about this site). It sure would have been a lot of help to me to have had help from this site (lot of great people and great builds). I will continue to watch and enjoy your build and learn more and more each day....Jim

I did the same and echo your thoughts on this site.....Mike has been inspiration to me as well as lots of others....I do most of my own work...with not a lot of high end tools....as do most on here....I don't fish...don't skydive...do gamble...(oh boy)......lol......Just work on my vehicles and take care of family...
More pics of clearancing high hump late tonight..........jim
