Default Little bit of progress for the TA

Now that I have weekends off I have had a little more time to sneek out in the shop between diaper changes.

Some of the last few things to iron out are rear end issues and exhaust.
Last year I bought a 12 bolt from that turned out to be a little noisy and had a pinion leak. Put about 50 miles on it and stopped driving it last summer. Took it to Jason at TDP for a set of gears in Dec. I got the car on the ground with tires and noticed the wheels were in totally dif. places in the wheel well. Turned out somone had welded BMR brackets in different positions. I cut the old ones off and had Mike Hutto come weld a set of his on. He is an artist with a welder.

BEFORE









AFTER





I also wanted true duals all the way out the back. Money is tight right now so I decided to take it on myself. I don't want to have any weld talent coments because I know I suck but it will be functional. I am almost done with the back 1/2. Good thing I don't do it for a living. I would go broke. I've got a solid 7 hours in it so far. LOL

Was I dreaming or did you say that you were going to get rid of your GMMG?
