sure is a beautiful Elky... and I'm an Elky fanatic. I've had 6 (so far), 2 of which were 66s with 396 4 speeds, and a 65 327/300 4 speed buckets/console that was Artesian Turquoise. You're really pushing my buttons
I'm curious that you didn't add front discs... since you rationalized changing the trans... not that I wouldn't have made the same rationalization.
So are you going to install the dash clock? And do you have any documentation? I found the build sheet under the springs of the seat in one of my 66s.
