    Does anyone know where i could get a front shifter for my TKO 500 as they seem to be no longer available, which is a bummer as i foolishly assumed that's what i'd be using.

    Thanks
    Paul

    Thanks for the help kidcampbell71 looks like i'll be using a mid shifter for my transmission.

    Transmission mount. I’m getting spoilt with all these fine creations !

    Shocks on the front… that’ll be novel, i never had any before !

    Front suspension hung.

    The Hemi is looking nice and snug in its new home. Only been a couple of months since the banger lived there, it’s all coming along really well !

    Great looking coupe. Nice work. Do you what the name of the green paint is? Factory color?

    Thanks !. That's a good question about the color. I will need to do some paint work and have looked around. I'm guessing it's brewster green ?

    Rear wishbone mounts

    Axle is going in, this should add a little bit of interest at the back

    Lots of pictures of the axle installation. I’ve already forgotten about the cost, its going to look great from behind.

    Wow, that's looking great. Give a shout out to the shop that's doing the work again, they're doing excellent work.

    Hydraulic drums, this should stop on a dime… well, should be better than before, though it’ll be a bit heavier !
    I missed a few junctions and stop lights before with the original set up, lucky the car stayed in one piece.

    Wow… looking good now !

    You must have been in the waiting queue for quite a while then.

    I've known Adrian for nearly 20 years, and when I talked to him at Pendine last year about a possible project, he said he had 13 lined up already in the queue, which was about 2.5 years work......
    At my age, I can't afford to wait 2.5 years plus build time - LOL!
    So, I had to look at other options, which as it turned out I'm more than happy with.
