Tx for the thread oldpl8s, Yeah, LA Roadsters are back. Let's keep 'em successful. My take is, even if Roadsters gotta pay a little, it's well...
Just bumped this so's I get an alert if anyone posts. It's working great by the way but have a few thoughts how I would do diff. if I re-do.

Don't know re 1,2,3. Vibration likes 60-70 mph that's about 2200 rpm. Doesn't vibrate at that engine rpm in the lower gears and 60-70 mph in 2nd...
Still waiting on trans guy. He's dealing with a very sick daughter and I want to respect that situation.
'Tho I have no "second thoughts" about the project, lemme offer a sidebar. If I were to do another, I'd seriously consider a rigid (non folding)...
There were only two manufactures I could find. www.twichellcorp.com and www.phifer.com They make fabrics for patio furniture and sun control....

Trans guy did a ride along today and while not admitting it may be the trans (yet), he has agreed to tear it down and double check all areas. He...
It's Monday. I'm on the hunt. Will post what I discover.
Yes, a Camaro with an S10 tailshaft swap. I haven't scoped the depth of engagement but will check that. I'm pulling the rig starting tomorrow....
