Re: Captain America 68 short/fleetside

I've had the engine in and out twice, pulled the transmission three times.

I got everything plugged in, wired up, routed and plumbed. Take her off the jack stands for a test drive and the transmission isn't working. I jack her up to put her back on the stands, and the jack slips off the cross member and smashes the oil pan. So I pulled the trans, lift the engine and swap pans, and put her back together. Trans still not working. Pulled trans again Wednesday and the front pump ears are sheared off. So I'm waiting on parts to rebuild te pump. After that, it's exhaust and interior, and she should be road worthy.

I swapped over all the good stuff from my 67 Skylark ( 4-wheel dics brakes, lowering springs, front and rear sway bars).
