Still need the TV cable with that unit but it does help with adjusting it.
Looks like a great controller and definitely would have gone with it if I hadn't decided to go the non-lockup route.

Today's update:

I saw this yesterday during the blasting and dug into it a little more today. Did a little poking and it punched through.





I missed this little rust issue. Hard to see before when everything was black. This is where the toe board and floor overlap and attach. The good news is this is the only thing I missed. The rest of the floor looks fantastic.

I decided to finish the blasting up after I fix this. Already have cut out the compromised area. I cut back the part of the flange further back so I can weld in the toe board part from the top. So I need to do 2 patches here. Pretty simple.





I got a call from my engine builder today that my rear end was done and ready to pick up. That was sure fast.
I set it in place:

Finished floor rust issue I found and showed yesterday.

First patch:





Second patch:





And all done:





Then a little suspension work.
I drilled my lower rear control arms to accept a sway bar. I was able to find where the hole locations were on a Chevelle forum. I weld the boxing plates on tomorrow.

Finished up boxing the lower rear control arms and installed the bushings.
I sprayed the Eastwood internal frame coating inside the arms after finishing the welding. I also installed the bushings in the uppers and into the rear end housing.





I received the Gforce transmission crossmember I ordered and got it installed. It fits perfectly. This thing is very stout.
