    Sounds like a plan. I will set the pinion angle before I give you the housing. That will get done probably week after next.
    I haven't done ANY car shows this year due to the van build but I plan on doing back to the bricks. You planning to come down? Maybe we could hook up Saturday.

    I'll keep you in the loop. You will know when I am ready to do the rear end. Probably be a couple of weeks.
