Re: Project OBS (Orange Blossom Special)
What are your plans with the interior Dusty, are you going back with the utility buckets?

Re: Project OBS (Orange Blossom Special)
Yes going to use the factory seats. Mine are in great shape except for a big tear in the drivers bucket. They're original black vinyl. Will probably have them recovered because I'm not real interested in getting burned every time I sit in the thing.

Richard did I ever show you this photo (below)? That's a sheet metal from a Fruitland Savings Bank sign riveted into the floor.

Re: Project OBS (Orange Blossom Special)
Hit another road block. Took the trans in to get re-sealed and the guy said it's trashed and needs a rebuild. Going for a second opinion early next week. It never ends…

Re: Project OBS (Orange Blossom Special)
I have a TH350 and a 700r4 (the better shape of the two). I'd like to run the 700 for the overdrive, but it will require swapping output shafts and some other modifications.

Re: Project OBS (Orange Blossom Special)
Not much progress lately Danny. Trying to get my hands on a portable carport I can set up in the driveway for the winter so I can put a heater in it and reassemble her over the winter. My friend rebuilt the TH350 trans yesterday and now I can get movin, assuming this hurricane doesn't damage the body…

Couldn't find anywhere tall enough. She's outside on the body cart, with a canvas cover and a tarp over her, tied down with straps. Fingers are crossed…
