![]() Well, you all havent heard from me in a while. Been busy as hell.
Rear of my car was howlin bad, infact it was so bad you couldnt hear the exhaust over it. And my exhaust is Two Chamber Flows Master Dumps with Long Tubes. Then it started creaking when ever you started getting the car rolling. Yeah..Bad.. So, I've been collecting suspension parts and rear end parts for a while now. Yesterday Tim C, Gremlin, and I rolled it into the shop and procceded to take the car apart.....Again (1st time was engine rebuild, exhaust, and tranny). Found that the Pinion Bearings were so wore out that it was just plane scary. They looked ugly. Then....Then...Now here is the good part....My Torque Boxes...Wow...Bad. Yeah..Guess they didnt tolerate the 390 plus ft-lbs of Torque. Wow....I ripped the Upper Passengers side Torque box to shreds. You can fit your hand completely between the chassis, and torque box. It busted the spot welds and tore the hell out of the Metal connecting it to the frame rail. The entire box was being held on by a 2inch long strip of metal that Hadnt tore loose yet. The drivers side upper was starting to come loose, but just barely. Alot of Welding, Hammering, and WIld Rides Battle Boxes should take care of it...Wow...Alot of work ahead of me. Also got an 8-point cage for it Yesterday. Only thing left to get is Weld's, Slicks and Skinnies, and some N2O.
