Thanks! Well for an update here's some pics. A few weeks ago I took the dif cover off to check the gears and they are all good. Except when we went to take out the pin/bolt, we found that it was broke in half. So that will have to be removed and I have a shop that is going to help me with that once we get the exhaust and the rear end back on.

Today I got the axle primed. I'm going to paint it black this afternoon.

jeez....after reading all of this with the detailed pics, i feel like i could tackle my own 69 rebuild, lol. however, i'd be doing a 67 ss convertible so i guess these pics would do me no good, haha. i didn't realize your car started off in such shambles. i found a whole new respect for you today when i read this. do you have a new date you're shooting for this to be done?

well work to come soon on the engine now that I have my alternator. It was the last piece of the puzzle. Also waiting on my wiring harness so we can start to wire the car.
