Hornet project update...

[Tom Jennings <tomj@xxxxxxx>]

It's been a frustrating winter. Between the Los Angeles rains and
my work schedule I've got no work done, though I did collect a lot
of stuff. Finally collected a nearly complete set of interior trim
plastic, and most of a set to fix up Josh's 72.

I'm sure it's happened to everyone, but I'm kinda stalled over the
transmission project. Once again, I chose a complex path, and I'm
bogged down in the details. I finish projects, even absurdly
complicated ones, but in this case I think I'm gonna set the
T-150/OD aside, and rebuild the 904 Torqueflite I have laying
around and stick that in. I want this damn car on the road!

I've got the trans, a brand new Megashifter, the right speedo
cable, and a driveshaft. The motor has a flexplate on it now...
and the right crank bush for the torque converter. Still don't
have clutch linkage, have to buy a clutch, ...  I can take a hint!

And I'll have the car on the road. That trumps all I'm afraid.
This project has taken long enough!

With the 904 in hand, I could have the engine and trans installed
in two weekends.

I'll call for a price on rebuilding and a TransGo kit with my
favorite trans place in the morning.

*** Any suggestions on shift kits? Mild street use. I've used the

TransGo kit in the past with good results.
