You mean to prove it's not fake, that there's actually a Muncie under there?

 Well I will settle for seeing you finally cut the hole, if you actually swapped tranny as well double bonus.

Spring is coming, I want a ride in a 4sp car.wink

The hole is cut. I just need to detail the cut a little bit, there's 2 little jagged edges.

And the Muncie is under there, rest assured.

Hopefully an updated shot one evening soon for you, showing the big hole and a Muncie tailhousing. I still have to drop the shifter back down to retrieve the shifter mounting bracket that Andrew loaned me but my replacement won't likely be here for at least 10 days.

Would you like a picture of the 3 speed on the floor??? confusebiggrin

I think he's kidding but I hope he's not! I would love to have an original hump vs the repro.

 That would be nice wink Just figured if you had cut the hole there would at least be a picture of the hole and a torch in your hand for the shock value biggrin

LOL, I didn't do it like the factory, but I guess I should have! Ouch, that would be nasty! Firing up the jig saw hurt enough...

I won't be banging gears too hard in this car now or when it gets the big block! I don't think the red line will ever be an issue biggrin

Did a little more work on my brother in laws 47 Chev ex Saskatchewan farm truck this morning.

He bought my old Grande HO350 and TH400, we installed it all last fall, and I built him an entirely new wiring harness front to back. Relayed the headlights, did a central powerpoint. The truck has a 72 mustang front end and a 9".

Got it to the point of cranking over today, and when the weather warms up we'll push it outside, add gas and fire it up. Can't play with gas inside as it's heated with a woodstove. 

It turned out to be a super fun old truck project, and as rough as it looks there is almost zero rust...
