well the wife is giving me a deadline of having our current house list ready by November 1st... and I still have a pretty long chore list. But hopefully, I'll get into a place with a garage.. The wife only has 3 wants for the house: mature trees, open staircase, 2-3 car garage.
Love that your always working on this thing, I like seeing all these Amazon's in the project threads everyday, I am looking forward to getting mine ready for the spring time and this thread is helping the push!!
I did a little reading on 8.8" Ford rear ends. One source mentioned that the axle tubes are only held in with two rosette welds at the center section, which I think I see in the above pic. It occurred to me that maybe those welds could be drilled out and the tube removed, shortened the correct amount and reinserted. It was also suggested to cast iron weld the axle tube to the center section so it wouldn't break the rosettes under hard acceleration. Just sayin'!
