One wire lock-up, 4 spd automatic w overdrive into A-body.

Welding upside down is never fun, and I am not that great of a welder. At least I didn't blow holes through my floorboards. A little work with the angle grinder will knock down the high spots. The first few spatters that fell landed on my drop light and it went out. Light bulbs are getting rarer these days, and I had been using those florescent bulbs because they are so tuff when dropped etc , but now I'm down to 95 watt bulbs and they are delicate in a drop light.

The wind was picking up and that always makes for problems when Mig welding. I got one side of the car done, and plan on getting the other side early in the morning before it gets too hot out to be draped in leather.

After seeing what Poison Dart did with his car, my mind is spinning with ways to get this center section done in the cleanest, strongest and simplest way. A way that is easily repeatable for those that want overdrive in their Mopars. Any kind of overdrive is fine, but my initial hope was to keep the adaptation footprint small using the 200R4 and removing a small wedge of the crossmember, but after seeing what Treblig had to cut away has me wondering exactly where my interference is going to demand room and just how much room that will end up being. Time will tell.
