I have a screwey rear end, it uses 12 car gears in a 9 inch housing. I dont have any other gear at the moment, I tossed the 4.11 set i took out, they were noisey as hell. But if the gear you have fits a 12 bolt we might talk, Thanks Drew

I am waiting to see which fuse goes first, then I will probably have no choice but to fix the other, I do see a cro=mo driveshaft in the future though, what will be in front of it, who knows lol

Bad thing though when the drive shaft does break it can damage the pinion or hurt the trans, I've seen trans cases break and pinions bust or break the center section from a broken jammed up drive shaft.

I think there was a post on yellowbullet of some guys aluminum shaft breaking and it busted the tail housing off his trans.

Worse would be launching the car and having it break and putting you into the wall.

Our hood trapped air and pulled through the fasteners, flew 40 feet in the air around the 1,000 ft mark and landed with a little crack in the corner, we taped it on and the next pass the transmission let go lol.

Now zip ties are a true racers product everyone needs them.

You will be so tipsy after the beer the low cg wont matter, go to lowes or home depot, 99 bucks, and their welds are even worse than mine. At least i didnt call you for the work on the rear, it would bring a new meaning to the term open rear end

We need one with a lil motor we can drive around with a keg on tap

Rear ends and floors weigh too much the car will be lighter without one

I was thinking of cutting off my legs and using hand controls to drop an extra 100 pounds too

I will have to see if i can get my "fan club" to take some, they usually take still shots but sometimes have a video camera ( one of them got a new dslr and has been trying filters and stuff) this is one he took

the guy in the near lane asked me the next week...what the hell do you have in there ( he used to live down the street from me) I said a 305 lol he said, thats got to be a big block, I had the hood open while he was saying this and i was thinking what a dummy lol

You can tell a 305 in a second, it's slow as **** unless it has a big turbo on it lol. So when are you going to step it up and get an 8 second pass? My car money went into my mouth literally, I got braces lol. So my project is sitting collecting dust, I got a bender and have my frame planned out, besides that just waiting for you to sell your car and send me money so I can start mine
