OK, sorry for the delay on the updates. There's been so much going on as of late it seems, and every time I sit down the computer update something else comes up! Like the other day I got news that Mercury was transiting the sun. Of course, with a rumor like that, I had to break out the telescope. After the retina surgery, I can now see through both eyes again, so here's the update!!!!! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
I'm wrapping up the drivetrain here and have since got the Dana all buttoned up. Michigan rust really played havok on this thing, and the pitting was pretty severe. I thought about using All Metal on the case to smooth it over, but then thought about the history of the car and leaving some character on the finished product. Plus, I'm lazy. Ain't nobody got time to sand down every fin, nook, and cranny on this rear end! Overall I'm happy with it and think it came out acceptable.
New bearings, seals, etc, as well as the front drums all set to be reinstalled. There are a few minor details on the front hubs I'm missing that I'll correct shortly. (yellow dabs on three studs and a green swipe on one hub...I just can't remember which hub they go on. Have to go back in my notes) Now it's onto the last two major sub-assemblies!
Cheers
