All started when the Differential got ripped out of the mount and lost some bolts, ended up sitting sideways and the driveline chewing up my E-brake bracket and also putting a hole in the bottom of my car in the driveline tunnel. Me and my buddy Kurt (HotRodGMC68) shimmed the rear end back together with.. get this... $.75 and a lock washer (Kevin... 1badbowtie...held the flashlight). Ended up going to the races that night and taking her home. After not driving it for a while, this last weekend my rear end was making noises. I found out my rear end is coming loose once again. Come to find out, The two main bolts holding the diff. in, pulled the threads out of the diff. Pulled all the suspention off and am taking the Diff. to get a heli coil put in.
While it's all out i decided I'd clean up everything, sand blast what I can and throw it all back together... here are some pics of what progress i've mad so far:

Got the Rear diff. over to my buddy Kurt (HotRodGMC68) he helped get all the threads for my half shafts all cleaned up and cleaned. Checked out the gears and how everything looks. New Fluid and Re-sealed and almost ready to go back in. Sometime this week I will be taking my rear suspention parts and sandblasting them and painting all components and rear differential. More pics to come for those who care to know the progress

Before the new cam, port and polished intake and heads and carb it ran a [email protected] Didnt look at the 60'. It was slightly heavier than my new build. Had unnessicary weight such as a stereo system with custom made fiberglass sub cabnets. I'm curious to see where my new build is.. I have yet to run it. My carb. is acting up too, i believe its too big for my motor... i did some math and it says a 650cfm is about right... not an 850cfm.

Also pulled the drums (yes... drums) off in the back and re-adjusted them, flipped my springs, sprayed under the car with rubberized undercoating and painted the strut towers, just got lazy and didn't want to take any more pics lol.
