And from the Garage are Current projects I have out that I would like to get finished for Christmas!

In the back is the 12-Bolt Conversion with the last set sold from Tom's of true 4340 steel 30 spline inner & outer Axles in 1480 u-joint size! Going in my C2 Racer!

The front unit is a Super 10-Bolt with 30 spline inner and outer Axles in 1350 u-joint size and I have the Billet bolt on u-joint plates, but forgot to show those here! Going in my C3 Autocross car!

Well actually I have one 1480 and a 1350 in the front and back on each in the picture!

I already have another Super 10 in the race car, but moving that into a 3rd C2 Slalom car I have!

Heat treated spiders, and special crossshafts, etc., All drilled for 1/2 inch long studs!

A Virgin never used 1972 4-series case for the 12-bolt!

The sign is the actual shop rate sign out of Guldstrands second to last shop!

Hope everyone else can add more cool stuff to your rides! """"
Looks like someone is going to be busy this month!
Good luck with your builds

SWEET looking stuff.....reminds me of the many packages during my Super 10 build using Tom's stuff. Now if I could just get the rest of the drivetrain done....good luck with your schedule.

You will probably get to see most of the new parts on this thread.
I am glad you are near the finish line now. Then it will be time to get your car finished and see what it will take!

Ring gear flange will be significantly thicker than any previous build
due to new clearance methods and parts. The carrier is getting shot
peened and polished. The final assembly gears are rem polished as are the spider gears. Final assembly pics coming soon.
