Default Made Some Progress This Weekend!

I got the diff back from being rebuilt and 3:70 gears installed. My kids took my wife away for the weekend....I had time, and parts...diff in, strut rod xmember and strut rods in, leaf spring in, shocks in. I wish I had painted the rear half shafts though! Now it's time to get back to work on the 200-4R, I'm having problems getting the correct Easy TV kit fro Bowtie Overdrives...next weekend's project!

Painting them when out would have been better; but some newspaper masking off of the body, etc will at least get the shaft portions painted in the present state of assembly. Doing that would make them look 'appropriate' with the rest of your well-dressed parts.

Mind if I asked what the cost was on the rebuild?
