This just in....ALL DONE!!!

Interesting mounting choice on the amp. Is that a Prime R250X4 or R300X4 .... and did you put anything between the amp and the metal?

R250X4 .....3/4" foam rubber.... I know absolutely NOTHING about stereo equipment

Lookin really sweet Alan. 

Thank you for posting step by step updates. 

[anlauto]

Alan,
Can you take a close up shot of the moulding at the rear of the front fenders or rear of the hood.

Sorry I must have read over this last week...

Here you go...

No real work done today, but it was a lot like Christmas....

Only a 17week wait...

[johns cuda shop]

Wow! your more patient than me. 17 weeks is a long time to wait for a transmission kit. Did everything come together or are you still waiting on more parts.?

[CudamanTom]

Wow! your more patient than me.

Nah, not for Alan. He has soccer to pass his time.  J/K

That is a long time. I hate waiting.

Don't even ask....I ordered their aluminum bell housing....They swapped it for the steel scatter shield WITHOUT even asking...I insisted month after month that I wanted the aluminum one, and they assured me that I would get one....NEVER mentioning that I wouldn't....

After calling them on it, I checked the order later  only to find out they shorted me the $249 shifter handle and there was no sign of any invoice, no sign of a packing slip and worst of all...the package included NO INSTRUCTIONS   whatsoever.

It arrived in NY 119 days after I paid in full for it.....that was after they promised a 4 week delivery....week....month...what's the difference really

[ToxicWolf]

Sounds like the fun is just beginning.

Thanks, That looks like my 70 molding. Does the original owner know that this car came with Beltline mouldings?
My 71 stuff has a parting line just like the differences in front and rear 70 and 71 hood and trunk stuff.

So I need to ask this since I am planning to convert my 727 to a 5-speed this fall/winter, why do so many of you order the American Powertrain transmission when 90% of what I have read are delays, problems fitting, missing parts, and basically getting screwed by these guys.  Y'all are way smarter and more experienced at this than me, but are there REALLY NO BETTER OPTIONS?

Nope lol.  Passion has a huuuuuuuge wait list

[anlauto]

Not a lot of choices....Apparently, according to American Powertrain....It was Tremec holding everything up...

I don't mind the wait if there is better communication....Let me know every couple of weeks what's going on whether it's good news or bad....STOP with the false promises

Looks like they have really gotten backed up now that Keisler went bankrupt.

I have had good luck with Jeff at Gerko Enterprises   http://www.gerkoenterprises.com/ ,Might be your best bet for tranny kits.

Would you be kind enough to post some pics of the different beltline/back of hood & fender moldings please?

There is a definite difference in the decklid and quarter end trim between '70 and '71-4, but I don't believe I've ever seen that for the back of hood & fender moldings.

TIA
