It's hard to mix up that paint job though. 
Yea that gear spread is hard to deal with. If you can keep the governor ready to shift, then manually shift the auto, to hold it to your preferred rpm, you can have 2 different rpm shifts for 1-2, and 2-3 shift. (how's that for a run on sentence)? I did find that my blower motor, made so much torque, that it really didn't care about shift points.
Although that gear spread is not ideal, a good converter can help cover up that gear spread, I noticed you don't have any converter slip in there. It will rise after the shift to keep the engine in the correct RPM range, unless its too tight.
On my runs the converter will only be slipping around 2 - 6% right before the shift and then it will flash up around 30% shortly after the shift and then tighten back up to 5% or so as the RPM increases again. This is all at WOT of course.

Someone here is greedy....
I dream of 69's. I had one in high school but it was a problem child, I want another for a weekend cruiser some day.
I’ll post more pictures
I don't know if Bill will agree about the first adjective. Useful, yes. Most excellent, not so much.
This is assuming that you are Ted...
I'm impressed you write in such nice cursive.
Going to get some skinnies for the front?

What is the benefit of skinnies on the front?
Less rolling resistance when on the ground and less weight that also helps with weight transfer to the rear.
