I love love love love this car.  If you EVER think about selling it, please call me first!!!!   :droolingbounce:

 :worshippy  Thanks for the kind words, too much time, blood, sweat and money tied up in this but if I ever decide to sell, I'll let you know! It'll probably stay with me till I'm pushing daisies!   :faint:

Got my new Strange axle all set up and ready to install, probably get it installed in the next few weeks. Dana 60 Track-Lock 3:55 gears. Hope the weather changes enough to where I can go try it out!

Sweet!  What size rotors are those?  And are the calipers 4 or 6 piston?

Well, due to other pressing matters like getting my 76 Power Wagon painted, haven't got the rear end installed but just thought I'd post a before and after of the car. Wow, sure makes you appreciate the work it took to get it there!

Hi Glenn, just took the time to read all your build, Brilliant stuff. Car looks fantastic, love the color. Motor sounds so good.

 :roflsmiley: I'm sure they would!! Thanks, it was a long process but worth it. As you know, we're never really "finished" with our projects, seems like we're always adding something new, tweaking something or changing something to make it better. This week I'm going to install the new S60 (Strange Engineering Dana 60) complete rear end, adding electric exhaust cut outs and also a line lock.

Hey! thanks! That's very kind, I'm not an expert at body work by any stretch of the word, good at restoring things and mechanical. Just very slow on the body work!

New personalized vintage plate coming soon! It's already approved but won't get it for a couple of weeks. I added the little roadrunner, may not be legal but probably won't get hassled too much over it.

"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.
