 going along better now. Got a rubber freezeplug to plug the FC oil filler hole. Needed pp/flywheel bolts, got them.
Still need an input shaft, working on it tonight. The one you sent had BAD corrosion on both the pilot bushing and seal surfaces, didn't get that way sitting in the car. 



 Are you close to licensing it?  
I haven't tried to open the PDF file you sent yet with the Damage Statement. It has to have insurance on it before it is titled--yes that is stupid but this is NC and that's the law. Won't insure it until it is ready for a test run. 

Did you remember to 
> get a Master cylinder for it??
I have had a master cylinder. Had to buy everything for the brake system except the steel lines. everything else was junk. Saved the E brake rear cable (wheel to wheel) but needed a new front to back cable. I had one already. 


 How much of the other cars interior will you be 
> able to use?  

Just about none. I will use the back seat until that ratty one you sent is re-covered. Probably use those seats with the ratty covers you sent as well until I can get the ones I want. My door panels--junk. Yours didn't have any. My Headliner---not too good. Yours-didn't have one. Carpet--Mine was shot. Yours--Didn't have one. Rear package area---Mine was bad--yours didn't have one. 

We had rain and snow on Fri Sat and Sun. I ended up going to Myrtle Beach on Sat PM after work and got my taxes done for free. Rode back in the rain all the way on Sunday PM, missed all but 70 laps of the race--Listened on the Radio though. Got home, snowing. This AM----ground not frozen was oozing mud. Was supposed to be off today to work on car, went to work instead. 

PS It Ain't your car anymore, so don't spend so much time worrying about it---I am sure you have troubles of your own
(HINT HINT HINT)  When I need help I will ask
