Zderf & Bish;

Somehow I missed your last couple posts from early February?

Anyhow, I'm here and I've been working hard at it. I pulled the axles and took them to Jim Green's, they magnufluxed them, checked them for hardness, and inspected the splines under close scrutiny. The result was that these axles are in perfect condition? I thought that I had abused these axles in the past with some neck snapping "hole shot" passes at SIR with drag radials. If they made it through that without a scar then I figure I'll stick with them and put the money I would have spent, into other things.

I also installed a Detroit True-trac, went back to 3.00 gears (the 3.50 were too short for freeway cruising with a 3-speed auto). All new bearings and seals throughout.

Then the money I would have spent on the axles went to Eibach 250lb./in rear springs, Koni adjustable shocks, Energy Suspension bushing at all 4 rear control arms, new rear brake calipers, turned the rotors, and 3" NHRA spec wheel studs.

With a full day tomorrow and a 1/2 day during the work week I should have it all back togther for the 16th. My fingers are crossed.
