x2! If this was always a Midwest car, that's almost unbelievable. </div></div>

Bill,

This Chevelle lived in Wisconsin all her life until we delivered her to the &quot;Land of Lincoln&quot; last June.
She lived in the garage most all her life.....she could not have seen a lot of Midwest winters....thank goodness [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

We decided to change out the Hurst Shifter and go with a Really Unique and Cool Shifter.....a P&amp;G with a Reverse Lock-Out, if it was good enough for &quot;Grumpy Jenkins&quot;.....it is certainly good enough for us [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

This Shifter is new complete in the box, never used....love the instructions [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

What drivetrain on the Judge?

There is one at Floyd Garretts like that and one comes to PSMCDR:-)

I love the lack of trim rings!!

You don't see a P&amp;G shifter very often, especially NOS. I'm digging it.

Dan can,t get enough of this car and the work you are doing to make this car a sure
winner. That P&amp;G shifter is one out of my younger days have not seen one in years, the
Hurst you had in the is what I have in my car that I have had since 69 when I got tired
of the Muncie shifter and having to fix it, keep up the great work.

Having the fenders bolted on without any support in the front doesn't cause any issues

They fit great....they just must be handled with care.....was they are very thin in construction.

NO BILL......THEY NOW HAVE A New THICK DESIGN GASKET AVAILABLE from &quot;Remflex&quot;... they are $38 per set, well worth the money.
