Big day today. First up was taking measurements to determine if the driveshaft would be cut and shortened or if the January 2007 PI swap meet mystery drive shaft was a good guess on my part. Sorry West, no pictures of cutting and shorting the drive shaft, I guessed right! Yippee.... This saves a bunch of time, and puts a correct piece back into service. Can't bet that.
Basically, I got the straight 3spd removed, and my pal Bob got things prepped as I passed them out from under that car. We had a lot of fun today. I really hope that tomorrows pace picks up a bit, I didn't feel like as much progress was made today as hoped for. But, does it ever?
I'm going to get up early and bush the shifter selector arms I'm using from the '39 parts transmission because they are a little loose and I want to leave the takeout transmission as totally complete as possible, it worked perfect so why not have it on the shelf.
Lots of interest and kind words on the '39 form folks on here and people abroad. If the sale falls through, no big deal, I've had a chance to talk with some great folks! I guess if it does sell, I better get the OD done on the '40 so we can go to the local Packard club breakfast next Saturday morning. Better hurry the next two days I guess.
