Seat mounts fabbed up ..........gages mocked up into "pod"...need a good "trim bezel" for the pod...it's plastic and I have never seen one that is not broken...this one is dam near non existant...held in by a few screws..the other car's speedo pod was wasted.....do you have one Dave?

I can get Dallas to pull another Pod from the parts car -- but that's all I'll have.

Ordered all of the Front end parts from Andy Burnbaum and they're going out today directly to Frisco.

Dallas say he has the MSD7AL2 and Steering wheel. He'll pull the pod out of the parts car.

The fuel filter was shipped yesterday.

I'm ordering the PPP shifter and 5' cable to be dropped shipped now.

OK order a PPP Kwik Shift I for rear exit (I like the rear exit because you don't burn the cables) reverse manual VB in anodized red, floor mounting brackets, transmission mounting brackets, 5' cable, and the shifter mounted line lock button and coiled wire. The shifter comes with an internal Transbrake switch (can't be used for line lock) that won't get wired -- but please don't cut it off in case I ever move that shifter to a transbrake car.

They will ship directly to Frisco next week and you should have by the end of the week. Please save all of the receipts for me -- as they're all putting them in the box instead of sending to me.

Dave, I replaced my Cheeta STS with a PPP rear exit shifter with the line lock button like you ordered. You will like it. By far the best built/working shifter we have had. Plus it weighs hardly anything. Are you running a 2.77 low gear set?? Be sure to have your 727 completly rollerized the tailshaft will seize with high horsepower. The wagon is looking great, Can't wait to see it run. poppaj
