I'm new to the Board
My name is Gary Howard. I own a standard shift transmission company and have been in business full time since 1982 and part trime back to 1957.
I could have easily built myself a 4 speed or even installed a new rockcrusher from the shelf but with gas costing over $3.00 a gallon I had to go with Keisler's new 5 speed. So I ordered one and am waiting for it to come in like many of you. I have a 1955 Chev on a rottisseri now and it should be painted by sometime in April and on the road by June. It is a two door Bel Air and has great sheet metal. There were only two small areas of rust under the short seat brace, one spot on each side.
I ordered a new Chevy crate engine and promtly installed an Isky hydraulic Roller cam and a set of Aluminum heads and roller rockers. The only area of the car I do not yet have a handle on is the interior. I would like to install a calfskin leather throught out the car as the two tone paint will be a new frosted Burgandy and a frosted Vanilla
My current transmission business is mostly limited to folks building original cars and ordering period correct transmissions as well as the repair business. I take my hat off to Keisler Engineering for filling a huge void in the transmission business here in the USA. Too bad I never thought of it LOL
