how long did this take?

[jamesfreddys]

@kkknnniiiggghhhttt I don't remember a floor pan like that is probably 8-12 hrs. You should be able to get after it and swap one out in a day.

Ok I need a bit of translation into uk english.. that red thing with the gear around it, you call a converter? What is it and where does it go? Is it part of an automatic transmission, torque converter, overdrive or what... I just don't recognise it at all.

exactly, it's a stall/torque convertor, which will allow the engine to get to it's powerband before working the transmission.

@kkknnniiiggghhhttt thanx im restoring a 1965 impala and im only 16 my first car,

Sounds like you two will have an absolute blast come race day regardless of the result. I'm betting a Big Mac on the Dart to win. Do I get odds?

I'm sure Jeff will help you install your fuel line if you ask nicely (up against the exhaust and crimped) lol!

The only time you'd see me in your rear view is if we were bracket racing and I was still waiting for the light to come down in my lane.

[webleyaz]

It'll definitely hurt 'cuz I'd have hit the wall if you won.

[jamesfreddys]

Let's not forget experience vs. newbie, I've never drag raced a car before. When I win it's gonna hurt.

The only thing I'm excited to see is that Supra in my rear view.
