Hello from Cincinnati
« on: June 11, 2008, 11:06:01 AM »
I thought I would register and say hello!
This one did not have any engine or transmission, but it is an original 4-speed body R-R and black interior.  Pretty basic!  Non power brakes - but tilt wheel - I've got a transmission being built (6/08) and all clutch bits are ready to install.  I had a couple bellhousing shafts made and actually have some extra parts in case anything wears out.  The engine has been dyno'd @ 377 HP 459 Lb-FT torque, so its going to be wild.
I have several red cars - there are a lot of red 65's left (Brian  ;)) so I painted it this lovely grey.

Hi Ted!

Welcome to the forum, you'll be a great asset here.
It would be nice to see some in-progress pics of your car
in the project/restoration section.

Glad you could join us Ted!
The car looks incredible. Nice job!

Whoa, I forgot about this post!
Walt, the car has a stock 3.31:1 and I like it (on paper anyway!)
I'll get the high nickel gears, but a 2.56:1 1st gear (wider ratio)

See ya,
Ted
