Looking good, can't wait to see more. If my car didn't run and drive so well, I'd love to do a frame-off too. Will probably do the best I can while it's still all connected. And yeah, transmissions are pretty mysterious to me. I'm willing to do a lot of my own work, but I'm not going to tear a transmission apart yet. I hope it works out for you. The world needs more Olds 455 G-bodies. :)

mine drove good, but I wanted to drive better especially with the small increase in horsepower and torque:)
