Does that mean you're going to build a Trans Am next? No? What about a 66/67 Chevelle? Those are cool!

Nothing as cool as a Miata. lol Next car, if ever, will be a big cruiser. 1960 Caddy on air ride for a daily driver would be the ticket.

GForce is not far from Charlotte and I got the name of a guy there that does about 85% of the rears for the Trans Am guys and gal. He told me they use the Aluminum Strange unit and the vast majority use a Detroit tru trac. That was surprising to me, but they are not breaking them. Same guy set up my center section, but I am using a Winters wedge loc.











REM polished and lightened gears

White dog in a black truck...she loves to go riding.

We are thinking 2800-2850 with me in it and I weigh 205 lbs. It is all a guess until you put it on the scales.
