Motor & Transmission Work

The car ran pretty well when I bought it but definitely needed a tune up, and I couldn't stand the stock Powerglide 2 speed transmission.  I got the motor tuned up and a good friend swapped the Powerglide out for a Turbo TH350 3 speed transmission that he'd rebuilt.  The car was now running much better and the highway cruising was much more comfortable thanks to the new transmission.

New Wheels & Tires

After I got the car home I had a chance to clean it up and start making my list for necessary repairs and parts that would need replacing.  The first thing I did was add some new American Racing Torq Thrust II 15" wheels and tires.
