Default Thank you UPS man !!!

I just recieved my new polished 30 spline posi and inner side yokes from Tom's :D . I'll try to get some pics tomorrow if I can. Now I'll be able to drop off the rear differential to be set back up while putting new seals & bearings in again. I'm starting to get excited about spring now :yesnod: !

Thanks Dave, I'm starting to collect the parts now so when it starts to warm up I can get all dirty again. Not sure which way I want to go with the O/D right now auto or standard so I'm looking at both. Did you get a tranny cooler for your new trans? Also did you get the TV kit for adjusting the shift points & firmness? I would love to be able to make it down this summer :) .

Glad to hear you got your parts. Did you tell the UPS guy to visit my house to drop that front mono spring kit and a-arms I'm still missing(Grrrr Ecklers)?! :D
Tom's is rather new to me, unfortunetaly and if I was still at square one with my project I would most definetely use tom's services! Good quality stuff! :cheers:

Mike - I did get the TV kit and the shifter conversion from BTO, they worked out fine. The only problem was coming up with a throttle cable bracket. I bought a new original and modified it to fit on the TV mounting plate that fits under the carb. Right now all I have is the Griffin radiator with tranny cooler. I'm still trying to decide whether or not to re-install A/C on the car, so I'm holding off on the separate tranny cooler for now.

Keep in touch,
Dave

Jay if the UPS guy had your front spring & a-arms, I might have persuaded him into losing them :lol: . Tom's is new for me too, I found out about them here on the forum :) .
