Pulled apart the drivers side hub to pack the bearings and assemble the brake caliper. Also doing the final tightening on the ball joints and inserting cotter pins.

I also took a quick video of the exhaust. I already shared it on Facebook.....but figured I would post it here as well.

I tried to install my driveshaft. I had this driveshaft made when I installed the SBC. Turn out is about an 1" shorter than I feel comfortable with. Just not enough yoke inside the tranny tail shaft. Trying to decide to have another driveshaft made, or just order a longer TH350 yoke.

Lets see a pic of the battery box. It sounds cool. You probably posted it before and I missed it. I'm undecided but I will probably go with a drop down unit and mount it behind the passenger side front wheel opening tucked inside the fender. I did this on my 48.
