Welcome to the site.    :wave:

Boy, you really took that guy down to the bare bones. Good luck with it, and keep us updated. What engine are you putting into it?

That's one of my favorite colors.

I'm partial to the round tail lights as well.

Nice project. How did you go about cutting the floor for the tranny? Any pics?
I have a 5.7 setup like that and plan to put it into one of my cars some day. Sure wish it could be done without cutting the floor and crossmember. I've thought about just losing the 5-speed auto and going with an A518 instead. At least that way I wouldn't have to do major surgery.

The 727 and the 904 will bolt up with out cutting the tunnel or modifying the cross member in both the B and E bodies. I'm not sure about the 518.
