Not yet on the coating

May be interested. Shot me a pm with price and pics if you can get um

Those will allow you to run a 15'' DR and it also has a park brake function.

Yeah, I was looking at the 31 spline with rear disc brakes. This might be the better way to go. I just gotta do so investigating on which way I wanna go.

It hurts me to know I am going to have Ford parts on my truck

Yea I will have to get pics sometime this weekend. I also have an 8.8 out of a lincoln Mark VIII. Its a factory disc brake rear end. Also, no one has to know you have ford parts on there unless you tell them. Just say its the stock 10-bolt. It will be yours and everyone at hall's

Well, I start Undergraduate Pilot Training this week (finally getting finished with all the in-processing BS down here). It will still be a while till we actually start the flying phase (at least 6 weeks), but when I do, these are the planes and formation I'll be flying;

Looks like a blast!

I've always wanted to learn to fly, but I figure my "speed issues" would me to experimental planes which would then lead to "In national news, a man was found stuck in the side of a mountain today...".

with me it would be, "in local news, a fort wayne man lands plane on 69 trying to drag race a orange mustang. Cops arriving on the scene found the mustang into a wall and took chase after the plane, but he out ran the police..

Looks awesome Ben! In-processing anywhere military sucks.

I got to go visit my cousin who was training on the T-45 I believe while he was in Texas quite a few years back. He is now a pilot for the Navy flying F/A-18s.

I heard Ricky Bobby moved to Texas....to be closer to the Texas Motor Speedway. He loves walls.

EDIT: Ben, everytime I went up in a plane I would play this song...

I only live 10 minutes away from the base, so I constantly see T-6's, T-1's and T-38's overhead.

The T-6 Texan II (the plane in the picture I posted, and Scott's link) is the one all the Air Force pilots now fly first before anything else. Then the fighter pilots will go on to fly the T-38 and the heavy pilots (like me) will go on to fly the T-1.

It will be a lot of fun, and from the picture that is probably what most think, but unfortunatly it will be an extremly stressfull environment as well, with instructors constantly yelling at you, telling you that you are one flight away from failing the course, giving you a ton of things to study in a very short period of time (all while flying maybe 1-3 sorties in a day as well) demanding that you know everything perfect. And if you think its all a show, and their not serious, you can tell that to the people they fail out of the course and no longer have the opportunity to become pilots because it does happen. Because when it comes down to it, the Air Force pilots are the tip of the sword, and they demand nothing less than perfection. Its how we are the best, and why no other nation would stand a chance at an air war with us. Anyways, I am ranting here... long story short, its not going to be easy, and its not all going to be fun.

Ben,

I have the utmost respect for you guys and what I've seen accomplished in an airplane. It's nothing short of amazing to see what can be done. People on the interstate can't handle being 10' from each other without hitting ****, it's amazing to see planes closer than that at several orders of magnitude more speed and moving in 3 dimensions.

Good luck man. I'm sure that aside from the yelling there should be some fun involved, though with that stress you'll probably come back with gray hairs.

Harness in, custom grommet in firewall for the harness, custom relocated heater core lines (out old AC hole) with custom grommet. Mostly painted, not quite done yet...
