...the man wants to see Big632, Norval, the new dude from Switzerland, TwinTurbo, Monte's Masterpiece, and a hundred others. I'll start with a re-post of Monte's poerplant:

and you MUST view the recent pictures and videos of Big632:

Can you snap a pic of the ZF6 install? I have mine installed and am interested in seeing how the rear mount was done and the shifter location in the interior (and maybe the hole in the floor), I'm building a custom floor but am always interested in seeing how others have done it.

As for custom rides...you really don't want to see my heap of parts

TT, you got it, over the years, I gotta measure in the tonnage how much parts and cars have finally hit the yards with my action....

been more than a few, with fond memories of most all, in many ways....

on a numbers count, I"d have to say cars are a bigger winner than women...except for ONE thing....

oh well....

Mine only qualifies as a mild custom if you squint a bit.
