Default Good progress this weekend getting back on track
The bearing assembly came back from ERA Friday and I got the rearend back together and installed in the car. Since I had the gas tank out, I put foam rubber insulation on the top. Even though I haven't heard any noise like others have reported, the trunk floor was flexing a good bit. I used a double layer of 1 1/4" x 7/16" insulation. It compresses easily so not forcing anything and it took all the flex out of the trunk. The floor is now nice and solid. I still need to bleed the rear brakes and put the cockpit back together and I'll be in forward motion again.

Also, my tag, title, registration and VIN plate came in the mail, so its a "real" car now. Too bad we got 5" of snow today. It's going to be a long winter - guess I have plenty of time to finish up the little things.
