Re: Dan's 65 Cyclone project !
I heard using Dry Ice on the inside freezes the under coating. it gets brittle and can be scraped off very easy
Only use the brakes to stop and get gas.

I'm pretty sure one TKX shifter location should be same as T-5. There are plenty of those conversions floating around.bigdan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 5:19 pmNo, my car was an automatic. I've used a TKX previously; I'm hoping the forward shifter location will clear the tunnel support. Floor first, of course. Here's the last I installed; the square plate with the sticker is for the forward shifter location. Thanks for looking-

Was revisiting this in my head, looking for stout overdrive that fits factory location and remembered that's a bust.
Thanks

Would have to be a toploader for the stock location. The TKX is rated to 600 ft/lbs and I'm thinking the forward shifter location would clear the crossmember. They're super smooth - I love the unit in my 53 pickup - shifts at 6500 every now and then 🫣Joe Travers wrote: ↑Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:31 amI'm pretty sure one TKX shifter location should be same as T-5.

Re: Dan's 65 Cyclone project !
Still making progress. Body is stripped for now and braced off. It's amazing how light these cars are once stripped down; heck i can pick up either end off the sawhorses myself! Pulled dimensions and then got distracted stripping a little paint from the drivers trunk drop; not too bad, just a little rust and mud to remove. Whittling away at floor removal now; more later!
