I should have the transmission back tomorrow, and hopefully the clutch and flywheel by the end of the week.

Good job, Tim, it looks great. They hit everything with undercoat on a fiberglass car on those that I've cleaned up. I have no idea why they did that other than the guy doing the undercoating had no idea what was fiberglass and what was not.

----This is the way a 62 should be be set up as far as I'm concerned. Love the wheel and tire combo. That puts your 62 over the top for me....Bill S

While the transmission took a bit longer than anticipated, it is done and on the way back. I should have it Monday. The blocker rings on 2nd and 3rd were toast, and the front bearing was not all to healthy. 2nd gear itself did not look too bad, but elected to replace it with an NOS unit. Surprisingly, the shafts were MINT! Tom expressed some concern over that if the car was used as intended. With a little luck, this should be back in service EOD Monday, or Tuesday morning.

I still see spots of undercoating I forgot how much Tom likes to use gasket sealer to dress the gaskets. At this point, what's a little more clean up work??
