    I love how you guys go right for the throat of building things the right way. No excuses. I worked on cars before and I've watched a lot of rebuilds but here, I'm seeing how things are done the right way, many times, for the first time.
    I would have been tempted to keep it in flat black primer.

    I love watching the full build on youtube. I haven't had cable in like 7 years so it's really great. Though I have a bone to pick with the transmission rebuild. Y'all said there was a magnet on the drain plug. Then pulled out brass ware parts. Brass is not magnetic. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Zinc is added to the copper to make it more corrosion resistant. Both metals are nonferrous. Thanks-

    Back in the day 60s and 70s we would modify our top loader synchros in first second and third,, synchros have odd teeth that are close together and farther apart from each other,,, we would grind off the odd synchro teeth and every other tooth randomly,, this allowed power shifting and and a greater opportunity for the synchros to mesh,, the result is never missing a shift...

    In middle high school

    I took
    A 1965 doge charger
    Widened all well-walls
    I got some really great looking wheels
    Chrome.
    Redesigned the rear deck including an additional wind damping wing on the rear trunk.
    Added extra Wide tries to fill the rear
    Wheelwells
    Added a black vinyl top painted the car lime green when I was done it was a showpiece!

I restored my moms first car (56 Chevy) when I eventually got it after my sister had it for 20 years in 1990 and restored it to what I thought was a bad ass rebuild, wish I had it over to do again, what with all the advances since I did mine, but it did turn out pretty nice anyway and my mom wanted it back, as it was like a brand new car again, so yea I told her it's nice to have dreams, ha, ha Thanks again guys and Happy Holidays to you all.
