What did you accomplish this weekend?

Had the 62' back in the shop this weekend,

shortened and boxed the trailing arms 1 1/2" to center the 20's in the fenderwells.

Pulled the GM 10 bolt 3.08 and prepped the GM 12 bolt 3.73 posi (new seals, bearings, complete brake rebuild etc).

Awaiting new trailing arm bushings from ECE. Just need to mock it up, set the pinon angle, weld the new saddles, reinstall everything and check all clearances, torque specs etc.

take the drive shaft in to be shortened and balanced.

Pull the TH350 and install the 700r4 set the TV cable setting, lockup converter wiring etc.

should be a busy week, but the end result should be just right.

Hope everyone else had a productive weekend.

will take some pics tommorrow and post.

Got stuck working on the kitchen again.

But there's always next week..... The Dixon Highland Games are Saturday though and I'll probably need most of Sunday to recouperate.
