Hahaha no updates, Neil and myself both got a little "festive" on friday night which caused for a right off on Saturday! Sunday Neil and my neighbor helped me gut the bavarian nightmare....They both decided I have done too much for them and none of my stuff, so thanks to both of you for the help Sunday!!!! I am out of town till Friday now but plan to get after it on the weekend. Tonight I pulled the door locks and handles of the car so I could finish stripping the old red paint and get ready for primer.......

Anyone else want to pressure Neil into grafting in a nicer set of door handles than the ugly old fairmont ones?

Neil did get the 5/8 studs put in the strange axles and painted the 9" housing.

No huge updates from this weekend but I did manage to get the 3rd member assembled, first time ive done a 9" and using the solid pinion spacers was a bit of a PITA but overall I am quite happy with the pattern/backlash etc. Just need to get a differect driveshaft collar for the racepak now!

It will be going back in the housing asap!
