Reply to "How do you make it rain in California?... buy a speedster."

Just got back from Geno Boyd's  today with the new tranny. 3.78 first...all the rest stock gearing and the 3.44:1 r & p. Welded 3 and 4, hardened keys, new synchros, shift forks, HD side cover, super diff and a few other bits.

Got my package from CIP1 today too with (very) HD tranny mounts and other stuff. Should have all bolted in by the first weekend in Feb. I'll still have to make a new rear engine mount then and maybe do a new custom rad if the locals can play the price is right.

When I yanked the axle tubes off the tranny I noticed that my right axle bearing was badly screwed. Good time to check everything. Not looking fwd to hooking up the shift coupler either because of a frame member in the way but the kid next door owes me a favour so this will get him off the hook.

My number two Son Jesse likes to come over and help with the mechanical stuff and he's pretty good at it. We work well together sometimes....me giving instructions and passing wrenches and him under the car getting stuff done and asking for a set of keys.....
