A few of you know that I am building a tribute to my wreckless youth in the form of a Pro Street Chevette.  I decided to take my mind off of my damaged CJ and spend some time with my other project today.  This represents the first completed sub assembly.  There is a moderately priced complete CJ sitting on those jack standsConfused  End to end this rear end comes it at just over 30" Shocked

Nice!  Chevvettes were a blast to drive in stock form (my mom's had the manual trans- burned a few tires off it during High SchoolLOL )


That thing is going to be wicked fun to drive!
5 Jeeps, 4 HAM radios, and not enough things that go 'BANG!' (no, not hammers!)

Actually, the brake set up is mid 80s Cadillac Seville. I lucked out with the e-brake bracket, anymore negative backspacing on the wheels and they would not have cleared.   The housing was already narrowed when I got the car.  I sourced and assembled it myself and my old boss set up the gears for me, the carrier is nodular iron from Strange, with a Detroit Locker and Richmond gears and 35 spline axles.  I ended up going with 4:11s since this will be mostly a "fairgrounds" car.  I will have some sort of overdrive in it, I have even been thinking of putting a 5-speed in it.
