thanks a lot Vette DD! car is just painted :-) now next step is to see why she runs so high rpm... I have a TH400 and at 80 mph runs at 3500 rpm... too much for my feeling... and for fuel drinking (here we are around 7 US $ / gallon....) . I'll post pics of the frame off made with the previous owner.

C3 folks can probably help you with the high RPM:
