I'm gonna get that 4 core Harrison reproduction from the Parts Place

Oh I'm sure I'm gonna bleed. But in the end it will be some car

Rob I will be at Carsile. But sadly not the Monte. I am gonna do my best to have it ready for the season after. I ordered my 5 Firestone Wide Oval Radials and picking them up at Spring Carsile. Moving full speed ahead on this resto. More pictures to come.

Nice Paul! -
You guys make a great point. Life is very short even shorter if bad health. We should make the most of our time here and enjoy what we have. Thanks guys for your thoughts it has reinforce what I was thinking

Man it's a hard call. If I was to do the 4 speed it would be an M21 dated to my car with reproduction Muncie stick to a Hurst shifter and I have the NOS rubber boot and all reproduction wiring
-
Very true. I agree

Looks like I'm gonna stick with keeping it an automatic. I can't bring myself to alter a totally matching number car just to have a 4 speed. Even though no build sheet its still original numbers matching drive line. So on with the build. Thanks guy for all your input

I used SEM as well. I think their adhesion promoter does a nice job

Thanks. If I do end up converting it I would do it with all GM parts and a date coded trans

Thanks guys. It is a hard call. Like many if these cars mins has gotten some floor pan repair but not an overlap job I butt welded them and ground them smooth. So I'm sure the same could be done for the transmission hole if I were to convert it. Like I said a hard call.

Thanks guys. I was unsure of the value. But as i stated its matching right to the distributor, alt and carb. I use to be a Vette guy and they are crazy about the build sheet being everything. I will continue the build as planned with keeping its originality except for the hood. But will have the original painted as well.

Thanks Paul. It's a hard call as i don't know what kind of value loss it has already taken without the build sheet. I am a numbers guy for the most part as what makes this such a hard call. Thanks again for the hood and Merry Christmas

I have a matching number 71 SS but with no paperwork but complete matching number driveline. How bad would I hurt the value if I was to Mack it a stick car. I am doing a full frame off on it as we speak and with no intention of ever selling it but just wondering. What do you guys think
