It's always a good idea whether your making 500hp or 1000+. The factory spots are not too strong.

Very nice, love the detail. When I worked on a NHRA Super stocker we lightened the gear train and an alum drive shaft= nothing! Just sharing my findings. Keep the pics coming.

I love attention to detail, may not make any difference but I know I did my beat.

If anyone needs welding in Central Jersey please let me know.

I love attention to detail. This is going to be a nice 8.5 for your GN
Not being a Debby Downer but you need to get it straightened next.
Keep us up to date.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

thanks. yeah but hopefully not. He's done his share of welding diffs and knows some tricks. Time will tell, still cooling.

Check out the Tungsten after welding both sides.

 

[ek02]

I wish I could keep my tungsten in that condition. He knows his business and probably has a top quality Tig welder.

 

[AN/GSC-52]

^ Me too. Actually I set up my shop equipment for it. That was the first time he used my Multimatic 200. He was at max amp @150. He didn't learn it was a lift Arc, till after he started, lol.

He is going to weld in the rear upper adjustable, control arm, bracket.
