3 minute(s) of a 183 minute read

Yesterday I got a chance to do some tinkering and got a few things done:

New O rings on Axle bearings
Axles installed for final time
Rear brakes all installed
Diff filled with oil
Rear control arms installed onto diff

Just waiting on my suspension stuff to show up from team z still it appears as though fed ex is taking thier sweet time. once that happens the diff can go back in the car and we can get the wheels all measured up.

sneak weekday update as well, the passenger side rear quarter has a but more "experience" than the driver side..... I got the the back part of the quarter fit up and welded in tonight, tomorrow I hope to finish welding it and grind her all up and make it smooth. I love feeling of making something old new again! haha, I took some pics tonight but will update with pics when I get it all done. Hopefully if all goes well all the steel work will be done this week and we will be ready for primer soon!
