As I get better pics I'll post them. I've been out of work since June, so I've been focusing on finding work and I haven't spent much time with Jeff. The fenders & quarter panels were a good fit, but the body shop opted to just cut the flares out of them & blend them into the existing fenders & quarter panels. They also added a lip to the inside of the wheel well openings like the OEM wheel wells instead of just having a pointed edge like the race flares.

Well, update time! Jeff is innthe process of havingna pump gas hydro roller 383 built so he can retire the LT1. It runs well, but puffs a little oil smoke out the driver side pipe. He also ordered a Legend LGT 700 from Jody and had custom '67 style fiberglass side vents put in to drop more weight. The stock 70-73 side vents weigh a ton! Pics asap!

I read that too. I have an idea where the rumors are coming from, but I'm not going into detail as some of the people involved are members here and I don't like to speak about vendors in public on a personal level. Jeff ordered his not much more than a month ago and I got mine a year ago last December. We both are dealing with Jody.

If you don't mind my asking, who is Jody? I don't need all the he said, she said details of the rumors, Im justifying to find out if I can still actually order the transmission and have it show up in a reasonable amount of time.
Thanks

We've been working with Jody Haag from Jody's Transmissions. He's been great for us so far. He's also a member.

Jeff's 383 got finished, he bought a TKX and the car is currenty at Pheonix Rod & Custom in Hackettstown getting everything swapped over. He's really looking forward to getting it back. The engine dynoed at 526 hp. It should be a huge improvement over the tired original LT1 that has been in the car since he bought it. I'm really excited, too!
Here's how the 383 looked when we went to drop it off at Pheonix:
