No work on the car but a couple of new (used) machines to help with the build.

Two years since the last update, i haven't got much done.
Car hasn't set on all fours since 2015.
New Nitto NT555 G2 tires. 295/40-18 and 255/45-18 on Boze Traction wheels.
I have been doing some minor sheet metal work over the last week.

Those are great looking wheels. Congrats getting the car back on its wheels even if temporary.

Thanks Marty and Trey
Plans are to center the pinion on the housing and possibly narrow it a bit more.
I had used a housing I had on hand and ordered Currie axles. A friend has been helping me and he is an awesome tig 🧑*🏭 welder . Might as well get it exact now. There are multiple Speedtech brackets that are only tacked on for mockup. I had to design a trailing arm bracket since this is a Camaro torque arm I have been modifying to fit my Ford.
Lots of sheet metal work ahead of me, wiring harness etc.
