Hey falconstien, got any pics? Would love to see them.

Thanks DennyW, it's cool how you can get it so clear also? Very well done and I don't mind a bit, I wish I had the skills.

Pro70, that is very cool, rolling chasis is a major step bud. Awesome and what a rear end man damn! It sounds like it will be bullit AND hand grenade proof!! Keep punching bro, it will be running before you know it.

Thanks Dave I do appreciate it coming from you, I have learned alot. It's not a 100 point car but it's a damn fun car!! That little 350 should make it even more fun, I may even make it a bottle baby this winter, depends how the funds hold out.

hey brick I have some pic in the gallery. Nothing new since then.

If I found the right pics, looks like a great street rod lerking in there.

Here is another pic for ya DennyW, this time I am sending it just as it comes out of my camera. These shots are too dark for my screen to see. Let me know, oh it's of my new engine after I started it and ran it for a while! That was very fun!

I can barely see mine, yours is a little clearer but dark. I guess it's time for a new monitor, sounds like the camera is working well. I took the dash out today and I'm going to paint everything at once, dash, inner fenders, door jams and gas tank. Getter blue'r by the minute.

Probably the wrong thread considering I just finished it and showed it at GNRS, but what the hell.

WOW. Fast service from ''Danny Miller's Rear-Gears''..........
Ordered it Saturday afternoon @ the Drag Expo. Showed up today (Tues.) @ 10AM.

That's fast service. Cool.

Got a little white grease on the gears. Perfect pattern.

It's a H.D. Unit. I'm soooo excited.

.

Pro gear, so it's Gonna' need good lube & a cooler. I may get a second one later so i can have 1 street gear & 1 strip gear. Until I get it runnin' tho this will do.

Very very cool Pro70, now thats the real deal! What a unit, sweet!

Looking Good, Pro!!! What gear ratio are you going with??? You'll never regret going with the 40 spline. Nothing on a race car is bullet proof, but they are about as close as you can get... Drag racing buddy of mine has a set of 40 spline axles with over 1,000 passes on them in a 9.90 car!!! He has a brand new set on hand, just going to run the originals to see how long they can really last!!!!

Dave: I went with a 4:11 pro gear. Seems every time I buy parts, the "Z" becomes a little less streetable. If I run TORCO lube and an oil cooler I should still be O.K. for local car shows. Problee' will eventually get a second center section for street use, but this will get me started.

The axles had the standard white stripe painted down them when they were new, took their initial twist and never moved since then!!!! Rodney sez he's just gonna run em till they break!!!!

Pro, the cooler and pump will really help on keeping the temp down. Friend of mine put a cooler and pump on his. Filled the rear end, didn't run the pump to fill the cooler and lines!!!! Probably not necessary to say what happened to his differential (and brand new Detroit locker) first time he went out cruising!!!!

Ouch. I'll make a note of that.

The picture is of my 53 ford chassie looks stock right. I have only been working on it a week. Friends say it will be on the street this sumer. I hope so. Just to the left out of the picture is my wifes 57 Chevy 2 dr wagon they are both being done at the same time. That way when I'm waiting for parts for one I work on the other. No need to go in the house then.
