My school/work schedule changed so I have a lot more time for her now. I'm going to tackle the rear end next. This is something I am only going to do once so its getting:

8.8 with 9"bearings
35 spline mosers with spool
3.73(?) Gears and 1350 yoke
Lpw cover
Strange 4 piston brakes
Wolfe offset LCA
Upr Da UCA/ spherical bearings
I think I'm going to try the new viking coil covers in the rear, mounted inboard
Torque boxes welded and reinforced
While I'm at it I think I'll mini tub it also

It was grey. Most likely will be gutted for awhile, but will go back together black.
