    Tremec or Toploader?

    Gears Right now I have 3.73's in the back. The guy building the engine for me is a real top notch builder or classic motors, and he was telling me that the "rev band" as you mentioned for this car would be up in the 3K - 3300 RPM range. He said this would be the "clean" run zone for this car...

    Tremec or Toploader?

    I want to get my transmission and driveline setup soon, but the more I research, the more I am unsure of what to do.

    Interior Panel Paint

    What are people using for the interior panel paint. I am talking about the fiberglass panels in the back? There is a spraypaint that MU lists below, but at $10 per can, that can add up quick.
