I wonder who installed that trick suspension? Used ungraded [soft] hardware to 'secure' the axle. r-i-g-h-t.
Busted axles inside housings once or three times: even had pinions shear or ring gear fail but that's a new episode to watch.
Glad it didn't happen near the traps; hate to see people get hurt. Hardware is always replaceable.

[QUOTE=pef427;1565054612]I'm just wondering because I'm having a 500 HP 383 built for an 80 (which has a weaker rear dif than the earlier years if I understand correctly). Don't want this crap to happen when I get on it!

That reminds me of a little accident that happened 2 weeks ago when I was filming another episode of "Pinks All Out" in Shreveport. One of our audio guys was standing around the 4 o'clock position of a car at the start, and when the car launched the drive shaft broke in front and back, and a piece of metal flew back and hit this guy right in the face. It knocked his sun glasses off and put a nice 2 in a half inch gash up his forehead. He was poring blood all over his face and down to his mixer, looked very bad(head cut, tons of blood always). Found out he got a slight skull fracture. Never knew or saw the size of it, Even though I was standing right next to him when he got nailed. I made sure to shoot the puddle of blood he left. So check out Pinks Shreveport and they will prob. put it in the show. Sometimes we get a little too close to the action..
