anmracing2 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 That Quick Time looks great in there! I am really pleased with mine. I assume the big window is for the original TOB fork? I think I see the mount for the pivot.... Hopefully the remainder of the hydraulic install is smooth and painless. Yeah. I had the option to go with the manual throw out bearing but I would have had to fabricate a new fork and I did'nt want to mess with that. I figure the hydraulic TOB will be much easier to deal with when driving. We just need to bleed the system now and the clutch part will be done. I need to change the hedder, fill the rear end with fluids (LOL, that sounds funny) fill the trans, then I have to tear apart the dash again. This car is a never ending project.....

anmracing2 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 YIPPEE!!!! WTG Andrew - I didn't see any blood on the floor either! I know you can't wait to drive it now and the adrenaline is starting to kick in! It's getting close but as usual there is always something else that needs to get done first. Can't wait to get the drive line. I'd be happy just to start it again and listen to the awesome music that comes out of the exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drive line is on order so it won't be done for a while yet. Seems like forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmracing2 Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 M~ installed the driveline this past Sunday and we did the fluids. Dropped her on the grouns and started her up. M~ ran her through the gears and she says the clutch feels perfect and smooth as silk. Gonna pull the beast out this weekend and do some minor tweaking. Then it's a test drive on the streets..... Wish us luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dale68z Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Beautiful car!! Sounds great Our maiden run for the t56 magnum in the 71 was the Gila Bend BBQ last year. Had absolutely no issues at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anmracing2 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 That is awesome! I bet that runs fantastic on the highway. We considered the T56 but for the kind of driving we do the TKO was the choice for us. Next project is going to be the Vette. I'm trying to convince the wife that a 5 spd would be awesome in the Chevy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
