Hi
I have not posted since 2009 but I have occasionally lurked just to see what is going on. A lot of life has got in the way over the last few years including 5 house moves in three years and a very busy job.
On the car front my 66 mustang that I purchased off ebay (US) (I am in Australia) is still going with little attention - it is amazing how reliable it is after 46 years. My '37 Ford Club Coupe has seen some progress - chassis is mostly completed, body work is also completed but I have it in a local rod shop for some further work as I unfortunately do not have enough time to work on it myself but have a plan to drive it to the Australian Streetrod Nationals Easter 2013.
Now that things are moving along with the '37 I was wanting some advice on which company or companies are the best for sourcing reproduction bits and pieces. Which ones sell cheap junk and which have some quality to them - this car is going to last me a while.
On another note, I am intending to use a T700 pre computer transmission (given the rising price of gas) (the car is more nostalga style so no computer gear). The motor will be a 350 chev making around 350 but not more than 400 HP. Any suggestions on who sells a good reliable well built unit would be appreciated.
Thanks for your replies.
Stephen
