Rimmer Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 There is a problem with the transmission hydraulic pump, because its a heavy duty Chevy transmission a replacement part has to be ordered from the US. So its first run has been postponed for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rdrokit Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Would be interesting to see photos of the car getting inspected at the Transportation office. They have a big scale you drive on so they can weigh the car. They also look for a vin number and engine number. I remember having my 65 Oldsmobile inspected at the transportation office here in Korat. A lot of the workers came over to see the car and ask questions. Same thing should happen when he takes this hot rod in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimmer Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 A couple of inside shots, the car is automatic so I guess the old style gear shift lever acts as a selector. The two piece windscreen will be replaced with a one piece when it arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that @transam. When I first read it, I said to myself, "he must mean 283". But not to challenge a moderator, I decided to take a pass. Talk of a 265, 283, 327, 396 or 454 and I'm good +. So there's a new one for me, 383/6.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
