    I here you Eric, but if you get the guys that are true car guys, like who you see out at a car show, then you wont have a problem. When is the last time you heard any arguments over vehicles while at a local car show? everybody is just there to have a good time and share stories. Its the youngsters that bring the party down online. I may just have to use the Delete User button sometimes and keep things civil. but I dont think it will be a problem.

    Hey guys, off topic but does anyone have a pair of steel 15" wheels from a mid 70's car? Specifically a 15" x 6" or 15" x 7" with the Ford 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern? I'm looking for a pair that would accept my hub caps and still clear my rear disk brakes so I can drive this thing without the slicks. Please let me know if you've got a pair that you would part with.

    I'd like to go. Haven't been in a few years. However, I'm going into the shop on Sat. to do some copper work for our Piping Operations Manager. It's a side-job, but, with what he's going to pay me, I can rebuild my entire rear suspension and some of the front. Don't know how late I'm going to stay.


    Good news is I'm wrapping up my 8" rebuild. :) Bad news is that I only need one more part to do it. The Motive Gear rebuild kit came with everything but the pinion nose bearing retainer. Damn. :mad:


    Behind the scenes preview (pics viewed left to right):

    1.) Old(right): 2.79 open diff / New(left): 3.80 Auburn posi (the little spider-washer is the old retainer mentioned above that I need to replace)

    2.) Freshly cleaned and painted case

    3.) The rest of the driveline awaiting re-assembly/overhaul :rolleyes:

    4.) Pics of the car (You guys are the 1st to see it. Nothing special, just never posted any pics of her 'til right now)
