Finally, been wanting to cut that piece out for a while. If I ever build another one of these, the body is getting taken plumb off first.
Hope to get this rear end out, and the ford 9 inch fit up ad going back in this weekend.

Have a 5.8 set of gears and spool to go in it. And a line on a 327 to power the old girl. Fingers crossed.

9 inch is fit up. Will take it out to weld it up. Waiting on some parts to do so, it ain't in the way where it is.

The fuel cell cage is finished up. And a bumper is bent, time to get more parts and materials.

Odd I had a 43/64 drill bit for the 5/8 studs. Had to mill flats for the studs to seat flat.

Little revamp work on the front hoop. Scored a set of 461's. Looks like brand new valves, springs and retainers. Will get them apart and see. It's cold and windy and time for a nap.
