    I'm hoping to get the bigger wheels for the back this week. I will take pics after that.

    New bigger meats for the back. Total 60s vibe now. Running excellent. Been using it a lot lately.

    Issues with the voltage regulator and battery terminals. Cleaned the terminals and replaced the VR. Back to normal.

    Well, coming back from a rock concert Saturday night my Belvedere ran great. Over an hour drive each way. Hot and Humid. No issues. We got home around 1 AM. Next morning there is a puddle of trans fluid underneath, a big puddle. Trans is shot. Since I was going to pull the motor this winter I've now decided to upgrade both the engine and trans. 273/904 will be gone. I found a place to get a nice rebuild 727 auto and hopefully I'll be looking at a 360 this weekend. Updates to come.

    Dang! Well, at least you made it home!
    360/727 will be a great combo for that car.

    I have a 360. Clean engine. We will go through it but it doesn't look like it will need much. The 273 is ready to come out.

    273 is out, 360 has been power washed. Next step is to drop it off at my buddies.
