Still some little stuff to do before the big event though. Here's the motor and transmission. http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/...B-47FB-B5DA-9BF496354E05_zpsoi1fmp7t.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/...3-4847-A5F7-FF2DBA204426_zps9h561xr2.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/...D-415C-B0DA-2594C150F0F9_zpst0ouvydw.jpg 1956 Chevy School Bus Superior Body In the Stovebolt Gallery
