You're Gonna' Love This Hobby!

Real hot rodding is about building and modifying cars.
"Wanna' be" hot rodders pay someone to build it for them.
As we say down here in Texas about "Wanna' be cowboys",
..."Big hat,no cattle"!
BTW,if you didn't know,the 4 speed Hydramatic transmission that
your Olds has was the basic transmission used to create one of
the first automatics used in serious drag racing.The B&M Stick Hydro.
This transmission has been used for years behind blown Chryslers
in the gas coupe and sedan classes.
It can take ALOT of punishment.Seek out info on servicing and
adjusting it properly and it will take anything you can dish out!
Have Fun!
