    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.

    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

    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

    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
