Agreed! TOW is about 3550 or so depending on the fluid levels and that is with the LS engine and the fiberglass hood. I do have a carbon front bumper that would drop close to 100# if I could get it installed. And I probably have 100# or more of Dynamat in the car too. Oh well, creature comforts.

So got a call from Gearmasters and the 12 bolt
Posi gears look like they had a meltdown. Best news
I have had in a while as I was thinking I could not get
a proper pinion angle with my new 4 link. Learned a lot about a
adjusting and made it easy to do now

So I had that 12 bolt built 30 years back and broke one
Axel, blew up the spider gears and destroyed the piņon bushing
but never replaced the gears. I had to laugh as the guy said it looks
Like it wasn't broken in properly. Break in really !!!...the car started lfe with
me autocrossing the hell out of it. Not sure if I should listen to him
about break in as this one will never last as long

Picked the car up from Gearmasters
and he gave me the old Gear set
I guess 30 odd years finally took a toll
This is the worse gear another one is
almost the same with a few others chipped

Hopefully I can now Race this thing at Crows
