@cruzzzer
Fantastic!
I learned on one.
How do you like it?

> Got some chrome issues, y’all got any ideas on what I could do about it
@pelunskii wolf
Dish soap and warm water with a soft bristle brush (ex: toothbrush) works decently.
Considering how caked that is, you'll want to spray white vinegar on it first and let that sit on the chrome for 15 minutes.

2020-10-10 21:05:02 UTC  

10-15 minutes.

2020-10-10 21:09:00 UTC  

And instead of spraying the vinegar, you may want to rub it onto the chrome.

You may want to look into Krud Kutter too to get the primary crap cleaned off and then follow up with the soap and warm water.

@thecraftydragon I feel good now knowing that my brother can't pick on me for not driving stick anymore lol

2020-10-10 23:56:08 UTC  

@cruzzzer
Excellent.
Plus if you need to rent a car and the only available rentals are manual transmissions / sticks, you're not s.o.l.

2020-10-10 23:56:49 UTC  

Next up, unless you already know how, are motorcycles. 🏍️

2020-10-10 23:57:03 UTC  

🛵.

2020-10-11 00:02:24 UTC  

You can typically rebuild manual transmissions in your garage fairly easily if you have a press and some mechanical skills

2020-10-11 00:02:39 UTC  

Even the simplest of automatics can be a nightmare

Leaper Dreams; flying

@cruzzzer Welcome to the Standard Transmission Preservation Society!

2020-10-11 00:26:55 UTC  

@PaddlerCoach44 Wanna see mine that I just had rebuilt?

2020-10-11 00:43:42 UTC  

@ThatShadyVandal Trans or Jag? Sure!

2020-10-11 00:43:56 UTC

Sweeet!

2020-10-11 00:45:21 UTC  

Years ago, 1980's when I was racing built up a couple of rock crushers. Easy to do with proper tools.

2020-10-11 00:46:11 UTC  

@ThatShadyVandal , what is the install?

2020-10-11 00:47:44 UTC  

What do you mean? What's it going in?

2020-10-11 00:47:58 UTC  

Yup

2020-10-11 00:48:11 UTC

I think I just wet myself....very nice!

2020-10-11 00:48:56 UTC  

Heh

2020-10-11 00:49:06 UTC  

@ThatShadyVandal congrats man!

2020-10-11 00:49:21 UTC  

You know, in another month, I'll have had this project for a year

2020-10-11 00:49:46 UTC  

Great project; good to take time, lots of pics, making sure everything is correct.

2020-10-11 00:50:00 UTC  

How's the engine? Numbers?

2020-10-11 00:50:09 UTC  

Oh, this thing is so far from original

2020-10-11 00:50:36 UTC  

Yeah?

2020-10-11 00:50:37 UTC  

Engine is a cobbled together 350 with a 1970 block, mid 60s heads, winters foundary manifold, headers, holley double pumper

2020-10-11 00:50:46 UTC  

The transmission is out of a 1970 car

2020-10-11 00:50:53 UTC  

Fenders have been flared

2020-10-11 00:51:07 UTC  

But that's okay, I'm going to build a hotrod out of it

2020-10-11 00:51:29 UTC  

saw the fenders; everything is perfect! Making it yours.

2020-10-11 00:51:43 UTC  

Exactly

2020-10-11 00:54:09 UTC  

My favorite 'back in the day'; I was racing '65 Chevelle's and had a spare body. Wound up placing my dirt track 327 4-bolt main in there with one of the rock crushers. Gosh I miss that car!
