Thanks for asking,
Sorry to say after I got the body shell back from paint & striping, I managed to get all the glass reinstalled. And the gears changed in the Dana 44 axle. And gathered all the parts I needed (with the exeption of Carpeting) Then Life and work got in the way. We had a rather large Kitchen disaster when we left for a weekend. The 100 year old plumbing let loose and flooded the kitchen and basement!!!!! That rework is almost complete, so maybe I can get back to work on it.
I did manage to get the little 215 assembled and dyno'd and it made 208 net HP (compared to the 200 gross it was rated at back in 63) And I managed to get an adaptor plate made to mount the T-5 from the 94 firebird at the proper 17 degree angle. Now I just have to find the time to start all the reassembly work.
