Reply to "ZF gears jammed upon reassembly"

Everything went back together w/ no need to replace any parts (exc. the broken speedo driven gear). Unjamming the gears was only a matter of loosening the forks on the rails and fiddling with the linkage until the selector shaft was able to move freely among the 3 shift rails (this took quite a lot of fiddling, BTW). To do this I had to pop a couple of the shift rails out the back of the case. Making sure that it was in neutral before mating it back up to the differential was also important. Now the car has seen its first road miles (under its own power) in 30 or so years. I've been waiting to drive this thing since I was a kid. Thanks to Lloyd in Anaheim for some helpful advice along the way.

As an aside, these cars really fly and are great fun to drive. The "what is that thing?" looks on people's faces as you go by are amusing.
