Thank you for taking the time and energy to share, nice way to start my Sunday morning! And kudos for doing some heavy lifting to bring this car back. Perfect example of the enormous amount of $$ and work even the best cared for original can take to bring back.. Certainly a worthy example! Enjoy the miles this spring

Lovely job! For whatever it's worth, here's a recommendation for refinishing your transmission case if you ever have it out of the car again. Looks like the shop that rebuilt your tranny just cleaned the grease off the case. I developed a really good technique for making the case look new again when I restored the A904 Torqueflite in my 1974 Duster. I took it to a blasting shop, where they sandblasted it, then bead blasted it to give it a softer finish. I then hit it with three coats of Krylon Clear Chalky Matte finish before reassembly. Looks like a brand new penny to this day. Anyhow, fantastic job with the Plymouth!

Thanks - I'm hoping it doesn't need to come out again in my lifetime!
