Re: The 1976 Beater Build - by Wixthedog

Victory! Knowing when to walk away from something is a hard thing to learn and it took me many years to grasp it. Letting the transmission case simmer for a day let me attack it with a new mind set and I was able to get it set in about 20 minutes.

I changed all of the gaskets and both seals, primered, and painted it in Cast Aluminum. She looks good! I also installed and tested the new backup light switch.

That is about where this story for the next month, time to go back to work.

Broad list of stuff to do when I get back home:
1. Replace 3x u-joints and carrier, paint driveshaft
2. Clean up and paint firewall
3. Clean up and paint inside of front clip
4. Clean up wiring on front clip
5. Finish build of engine and mate tranny
6. Install/Break In
