Hey the car looks great! He should be able to rock and roll now!! Too bad he can't spray the car while he's at it.  A good bodyman that likes to work is hard to find!

Yup, as straight as it is now I am not as worried about it anymore. I still have it narrowed down to 2.

I was suggestion the chassis guy weld them up I was hoping Chris would know to let the paint and body guy weld them up so it wouldnt do that warpage. And I like the side lights on your car monte but I think Chris's would look better with out them. mainly the back ones

I think that side marker lights and other things make the car look like a 'sleeper'.
But you can't hide 30" of rubber-  Grin

We are going to be fitting the tunnel soon and I ordered my new shifter as well so we can make the platform it sits on.

Bodywork is almost done and after a good shop cleaning the floor and rear braces should start going in.

The bodywork set it behind a couple weeks but I think it really needed it.

What shifter did you order? Cheetah? Lightning Stick?
What kind is adaptable for a turbo 400 and a glide?
Do you just change the plate?

B&M Pro Ratchet

Yours will work for it all. You just need a different plate.

Anyway you only shift one time. You could get by with a rod sticking through the floor!!!

Maybe friday if he needs it before then.
