You are so right. Really the smartest way to build one of these cars is back to front.

I have been babying my car the last four months looking for a used 12bolt/9" to to replace my rear To buy a brand new one is 2/3's of the damn way to the forged 383 HKE shortblock I was saving for And I sure as hell can't put on th M/T's and go have any fun........
