Also mounted the housing under the car today, hooked up the sway bar, etc. I keep thinking if I dilly dally long enough, a 9" pumpkin w 3.89 gears & traction loc will appear at a reasonable price. If it doesn't, I'll stick the old pumpking back in for now so I can get the car back on the ground and do other stuff...
Looking good from here Randy! Does your helmut not have adjusters for shading and speed?? You can't weld it if'n you can't see it!

All in all, it looks great!

And I agree with Dave, unless you can keep the axle ends centered in the middle, don't roll the car around as you risk bearing damage. You could use a tube or pipe to accomplish this. Just needs to slip over the splines.
