Okay, Maybe we can make this work. I also have 2 ribcase's laying in
the garage which came with the car. One is a 1970 and is complete
though the guts are an unknown. The other is in pieces. Sure between
David's and mine we can come up with a good one.
Like David, I'm no tranny mechanic so we still need someone who is up
to the rebuild task.
Cheers!!
