    After months of Sleep, Cash and Blood loss, "Ol Blue" is back on the road after 40+ yrs in a barn.
    Yea...she's not original...she has a mish mash of parts fro
    m different years but she's a fun drive for sure.
    She's come a long way since last September when I brought her to her new home.
    Lots more work to come.

    Thanks everyone for their expertise and answers to my stupid and ignorant questions. More to come so be ready...Ha

    It is a good feeling to get to this point. You did a lot of work in a fairly short time. Good Job!

    Nice! Looks like a Ford truck Tremec T170 TOD transmission using adapters and parts for a T176.
