The chute mounts and wing are next, then getting the the Bruno Liberty - Rossler Turbo Glide mounted.








Next week we will finish mounting both transmissions, get the pedals mounted up and sheet metal the firewall/trans tunnel. After that we will take a little break so I can get some engine stuff sorted out.

Thanks!

What do you want to see? The floor or floor structure? I don't have much interior at this point.

Let me know and I will take some for you.

Thanks,

Tom

Nothing in particular, the car looks great, maybe the floor structure and how you guys did the tranny mount.

+1 for interior shots. I'm mainly interested in seeing what you guys done to the metal behind the dash and the floor. Did you guys remove the old T-Top well in the back of the car? I'm wanting to remove mine and I'm looking for some ideas.

Car is looking great, thanks for sharing Tom.

Is the car going back as a T-top car or are you putting a hardtop on it? I'm wanting to converter my T-top car back to a hardtop to get rid of the glass tops. It looks like it isn't too bad of a deal. I was just curious which way you guys were going.

A 2 speed power glide replacement. This Transmission is designed for 3000HP and run all season long. Perfect for the ultra fast Door Cars and a dream for high horsepower 10” tire cars. Available with 3 different first gear ratio’s 157-148-140. Has all outer dimensions of a TH400 and is controlled with a power glide shifter.

Carl is a great guy to deal with. He has been working with me for about 4 years now. He is a bit pricey up front but once you make the initial investment his service and support will prove well worth it!

the only thing i see that i like about them being that it has a really tall 1st gear which helps these small tire cars.... what were the advantages you saw to using this versus a nice glide with case and 10 clutch pack and the rest of the goodies... pretty close to same investment $$ wise...

i dont want this coming off in the wrong tone... i'm just curious if i'm missing a piece of info... cause believe me... this car will be quite a bit faster than mine... to say the least...lol

if it was that high for the price and HP rating it wouldnt be able to compete with the high HP glides...
