Don't forget pictures Ned! Can't wait to see it. So how far did Cris take it??

[DRJDVM's '69]

Car is back....made a quick hot lap...drove down 6.5 hours...went over the car, bull****ted, got some details finnished up and drove 6.5 hours back

Cris took my "to do list" as far as my budget would allow....wish my budget was bigger but it isnt...the work turned out great....just wish I had more $$ allotted to get more done

There were also a few issues I need to correct, that prevented Cris from doing some things on my "to do list". Not his fault....

The big one was the finalizing the pinion angle. I set my engine down at 3 degrees (based on all the info and recommendations out there) and did my exhaust, notched the frame, built a trans crossmenber etc etc. I was going to have Cris finalize the rear end pinion and weld on the brackets etc. Well my rear diff apparently is a decent amount higher than my trans output, so with the engine down 3 degress the working angle is too steep...so I either need to drop my rear diff, or up my engine angle to around 1.5 degress down......so it looks like I'll need to re-do the frame notch, trans tunnel, crossmember etc etc.....which is fine.....but I cant afford to pay someone to do all of that...and I can do it myself...so finalizing the pinion had to wait for now.

Still got a ton to do...... I'll post some pix soon....
