Thanks for the interest on the build the shocks are going on the chevelle the shocks have clickers on them for the dampening adj. makes a huge difference on a dirt bike or a snowmobile so I say why not a car? one way to find out.

This is how thing can really take a turn for the better or worse depending on how you look at it. After taking more measurements I found that the pinion was 4.250 off set from center and after pricing out a filler bung,drain,axles,seals and bearings,plus narrowing the housing to center pinion. I changed my mind and ordered a new housing and axles that will bolt right in. So all the time grinding, and cleaning for nothing!!
Now on to making the brake brackets!
