Shifter Rehab Update

Couple of pictures of the shifter, below.  Handle is being sent out for rechroming.

Transmission Rehabilitation Begins

The nasty worn flywheel pictured in a post below was resurfaced.  The surface was worse than it looked.  Looks great now. 

The shifter was sent off to Manchester Muncies for fixing up.  Hurst recommended Atlantic Speed for rebuilding.  Atlantic Speed recommended Manchester because it wasn't a Hurst.  Both places are extremely helpful, and knowledgeable.

Dropped off the transmission support at the acid dipper today with a bunch of other stuff.  That'll make it look like new.

We Have a Transmission

With much help from my friend Greg, the Grand Prix's transmission and assorted other parts has made it home from Boston. Much thanks is extended to the seller and his friend who had rebuilt the transmission for me.  Purchased over 3 years ago, logistics, kids, and time made actually getting the thing more complicated than I ever expected.  The fly wheel will have to be surfaced. The shifter will have to be rehabilitated.  (It has a reverse lock-out which is interesting, and apparently discontinued by Pontiac for the 1964 model year)  I've already painted the transmission and bell housing.  The Z-Bar and Pedals need to be spruced up.  The console has requires a good cleaning. But, hey, it's FINALLY here.
