[QUOTE=dwright]Hey Sarge,
I can't help you in the snow dept. My daughter is moving to Orchard Park, so my wife will be going past West Seneca two days a week.Cry
[/QUOTE]
 
Ahh yesss...Orchard Park, home of the Blundering Buffalo Bills. Wink
 Kidding aside...That is a nice quaint little town. Clean, respectful, and has an old town charm. I have a couple "corvette friends" that live in O.P. Your daughter will most likely enjoy living there. Well if your in the area sometime, give us a shout.
 BTW, we did have the "Snow Gods" visit us today. I plowed snow for 17 hrs. today. Good $$$ day today. LOL

Well, the decision has been made. Actually purchased. Shocked

 Michele bought me a TKO 500 5 speed "Perfect Fit" transmission kit from Keisler. What a gal! It should be delivered in a few weeks. Not that we are in a hurry. The car ain't coming out til springtime.
 
I compared the kit from Keisler and Classic 5 spd. The kits are basically identical. Even their websites look similiar. Keisler won out. They had a better deal with the $100 off and 1yr warranty.
 
And I just want to say thanks again to all for the help with your opinions & experiences.  It helped out immensely. Thumbs%20Up

Sarge,
Sounds like you made two good decisions.
 
Picked the Keisler.
 
 
And picked Michele.
 
 
Congratulations.Thumbs%20Up

I only see one good decision.  He picked Michele; she picked the Kiesler.

Very true.
 I knew I picked her for a reason. And that was back in 1983. Big%20smile
