Some wiring?

It looks liek the Tookie's meet for this weekend is off, which is fine.

I am free the weekend of June 8th.

June 15th is my birthday weekend, so that works as well.

And I am free the 22nd of June as well.

I am guessing we will be ready by the 15th or 22nd.

Stone,

Can I buy your 8.8 housing from you?

Got the front half driveshaft installed. Turns out it wouldn't clear my home brew short shifter, the pipe welded to bottom of stock shifter mod. So I hacked off the pipe I welded on a few years back and went back to stock, I may modify it again for slightly shorter throws down the road.
I also have the revshift transmission insert, which raises the transmission slightly.

Also swapped out the round front flange with a 1350 yoke which required a new crush sleeve, pinion nut etc. to do the job right. I also had to make a new yoke tool to hold the yoke stationary while I was torquing down the pinion nut. I was happy to nail the pinion preload at 16in/lb right off the bat.

Should have the rear cradle, diff, axles and driveshaft all in place tomorrow.
Pictures tomorrow

Damn dudes, I can almost smell the clutch dump burnouts coming in the near future.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks D!

As I have stated, I plan on getting the prototype "final" rough draft bracket cleaned up this weekend.

After that, we have some jig building to do.

Then we will be come vendors HERE.

Then to market.
