Also blackbirds customs has a disc brake kit.

It will be nice to keep it original and have the strength of the HO52. I took the cover off today though and about a quart of water came out! Everything looked good except 3 teeth are pitted pretty bad. I have the same rearend from a 67 I parted so no worries. Both are 4.10 ratio.

Also cleaned up the 16.5 slots and will be slipping those on. I guess I should probably just scrap the split rims?
