As much as I would love to hang out on the trails and move rocks, dig holes and mend fences and bridges (no sarcasm I do enjoy it). Sorry y'all I'm out.

I've got to make a run up to Atlanta that weekend to my get my father in laws old Dodge pick up. I'm on a time crunch with other pressing matters as well so I can't reschedule to make this work day happen..

so I took charles advice and am fixing the 2 patches of rust in the kickpanel. Finally got some angle sheets bend up yesterday. And the best part is I finally got my title for the bronco, from NC only took forever.

Got the trans installed and drove it around a bit yesterday. Seems like everything works, so I guess I can add C4 transmission rebuilds to my resume. Just got to button a few things up, like front driveshaft, skidplate, and finish hanging the exhaust plus make some small adjustments to the kick-down cable and modulator and I should be good to go for a while.

I have definitely come to the conclusion that I really don't like being a "garage floor" mechanic.
I really would like to have a lift, it would make jobs like this 10x's easier.

Did you do any VB or clutch mods?

Added an extra clutch and steel to the direct drum and it already had a VB shift kit. I got a slightly higher than stock stall speed on the converter but nothing too exotic.

Sexiest thing I've ever seen! Odyssey, I love you.

All the wiring comments are implied. Gonna remedy that this summer.

I won't make any comments about the wiring.

Who is Odyssey? Is that the brother of Fabio?
