I haven't updated the thread for a while because I haven't been doing much except driving the car on the weekends and enjoying it! Last weekend I did change out the break in oil to VR1 30wt and put on a new Napa Gold filter. I also drained the break in oil out of the Strange rear end and put in some Valvoline synthetic gear lube.
@VOETOM came by and made some changes to my transmission, but I'm gonna have to let him explain them. He wasn't happy with the 2-3 shift overlap so we spent a couple of hours swapping out a couple of springs and making adjustments to the kick down linkage and now we think we have it shifting pretty good.
Over the coming winter we are going to clean up the mess that is the back half of the car. I have an axle seal thats leaking and a few misc parts that weren't installed properly for the sake of getting the car back on the road. We are also going to make some changes to the location of the rear calipers in order to make room for the 3" tail pipes that I bought at Tom's reccomendation. This car is a work in progress.
